Comment on Hey, I'm new to GitHub!
r00ty@kbin.life 2 months agoI'd agree, but the caveat is that github is primarily about an interface for source control and collaboration between developers for projects. The release page is really just an also-ran in terms of importance.

Imo they aren’t even trying, because it’s not that hard to make it better. Doesn’t even have to be a compromise.

There is, it’s literally right there on the home page of the project. You can either copy a URL and download it by cloning the git repo, or you can download the whole project as a zip file. Then you just have to compile it!
GitHub is for developers, not end users.

That’s not a download button for the program. But there is indeed a link to the release page right on the home page of the project, so you’re still correct.

It’s not a compromise to make another download button for the last release as well. No one looses.

Imagine how many download buttons would be if Github had ads.
