Can a coder explain why Github doesn't just have an "install" button? I can't do anything with a bunch of code.

"releases"

Because it's the last line of filtration defense from the rest of India getting online.
Next question.

Github is primarily a site for sharing source code.
"Releases" is where developers can leave pre-compiled versions of their program.

The ReadMe is almost always a general description of the application as well as instructions on how to compile the source code yourself

>"But that's needlessly complicated, I need people to stop gatekeeping and just make a normal .exe with a glowing green download button that takes up a 3rd of the page so it's easy for me to find".
You're on a website made for developers to share files & source code with other developers.
Just read lol it's not hard.

skill issue, the github usually has build instructions and also >>109415039

>>109415020
github is not an app store
>>
>>109415020
github does not know how to compile and install every project. you can even push code that does not compile. developers may or may not add compiled releases. developers may or may not add installation instructions. if neither are provided, then you are not the target audience.

we already have this thread: >>109413638
