People misunderstand the target audience of GitHub—which is specifically not the general public, but yes, developers. If you don't want to be treated as a developer, don't use a platform designed for developers. And I'm saying this as someone who's having a horrible time learning hot git and GitHub works. (Not because it's bad, I'm just a slow learner lol)

Git design is a little bit bad, mostly just in the UI that is unintuitive and sometimes needlessly complex. Its why things like JJ and Mercurial are still being made.

You take it back or grand exhalted emperor of Open Source Linus (may his personal Linux Kernel repo live forever) will be angry.

Even things that have compiled binaries, it's not so easy to find the page with the actual download button sometimes on GitHub.

i don't get this, just go to the releases page? like 2-3 clicks and you have a series of links to "theprogram.exe" "theprogram.sh" "theprogram.zip"

or are you just talking about shit like libraries? because yeah that's.. not how you install libraries..
