WHY IS THERE CODE??? MAKE A FUCKING .EXE FILE AND GI...
I know it doesn’t address the issue for most people, but that and other things can be “fixed” with the refined GitHub extension.
The worst part IMO is that there used to be a “releases” button somewhere that got nuked. While “projects” is usually there, even though repos rarely use it.
How would you make it easier? Currently it’s on the sidebar with a big “Releases” heading and the link to the most recent release. From there you just look at Assets and download your file. The only way I can see it being easier is if it showed an annoying pop-up for all non-logged in or new users.
I would put it in the top area right after “Pull Requests”. It currently isn’t in the main navigation area and is very often under the page fold, making it hard to find unless you already know where it is.
It is really hard to find application releases on Github though. That is something that could be improved.
GitHub’s layout is strange to me. Why isn’t releases in the top nav bar with Code, Issues, PR, etc.

Exactly!

Edit: On a standard 1080p screen, the Releases section for this repo isn’t even visible without scrolling…
