The purpose of a github repository is to store code, track changes to the code, and host discussions about problems with the code. It's designed to be used by professional software engineers. If you're not an engineer and you're just looking for an exe file then you're probably in the wrong place.

If the project is ready for end users like you to just download and use, there's probably a project website somewhere with a clear and convenient download button. Sometimes that website is even linked to from the github repo.
If there's no website then the project probably isn't ready for you to use yet, or might not be intended for you to ever use directly at all.

I say probably because admittedly some projects DO abuse github releases as an end-user distribution mechanism. That's unfortunate and has caused a great deal of confusion amongst people who generally have no business visiting github repos.

yes
people who use git to host products for non-developers should make their own site for it with a direct link and/or simple instructions and not just a git pace.

https://github.com/twitter/the-algorithm/issues/1999

>>109422727
honestly if you expect other people to use it an exe, appimage, binary or w/e should be available.
There's really little excuse unless you only want a few people to use it, which is obviously fine, but surely distributing a file isn't hard.

Why would you want a exe of twitter algorithm?

>>109422935

Normie gatekept

>>109423298
depends on the project. sometimes it's not easy to build executable for every system. often a developer relies on the user to make them. much safer as well. if you use computers in 2026 and can't use a makefile on a linux system then you are a legit fucking retard. windows is a little more difficult. it's easier to build exes for linux and macos (often using the same build system) than windows that usually requires mingw/msys and you need to find all of the libraries needed, compile them etc.etc. windows fucking sucks. wsl didn't help. this is why we can't always have executables.

>>109422727
He is correct.

>>109423341
The point is that >95% of the users are on 1 operating system, they're not programmers and if you dont provide them the exe because reasons its kinda... do you want people to use your shit or no

>>109422727
I kinda like the sincerity but i want things to filter normies like him even more. It's a conflicting feeling really.

they're not. and you can go to scam sites like statcounter that rely on embedded javascripts scraping user-agents from browsers (lol) but that won't help either. it's a massive mix of people using real and virtual machines and not every machine ever connects to the internet. programmers don't have the time to test and debug executables for every system. if the programmer doesn't have windows, or can't be fucked using a vm to test, that's their business.

computer users need to get good at a computers, learn how they fucking work instead of jacking off to bbc cuck porn and trannies

Linus is a special type of special.

mentally? no.
relatability? yes.

Yes but now with AI it doesn't matter.
I don't know shit about this nerd autist code stuff, but I just ask AI to tell me exactly what to do and things work fine.

I just sacrifice infants to ai and it gives me everything I want.

Most people get offended when you release right up front.

you don't just run it as an application

>>109422783
It's not that visible. If you know where to look then yeah it's not that hard to find, but you have to navigate to the releases the find the file among multiple files in that release. It's unnecessary.

>>109422727
Wtf are normoids even going on github for?

Release section is easy to see if they use it obviously but I can see why it annoys the average user who just wants to download a recomp or what the fuck ever when they don't, it's not very intuitive.

No—he was. But in the age of AI the equation has changed—he can just make it himself with no technical knowledge needed.

if you look there is a folder called "bin" I bet you if you click into it there will be a .run and a .exe file.

I haven't even gotten to the 'looking at the code' part of github. I can't even figure out what I'm looking at on the main pages

>>109422727
Yes he is.
I wouldn't mind compiling the source code myself if developers gave clear and complete instructions on how to do it, including how to setup your environment and some specific requirements, but they almost never do.
And if you ask for help in the community most are unhelpful. So for many projects you end up with code that's nearly impossible to build yourself unless you're involved with project, or you don't value your time and spend hours or days tinkering and troubleshooting until you just get the exact same environment and parameters right.

This is particularly typical for software that's open source but monetized, with precompiled binaries available only for Patreon subscribers or somewhere like Microsoft Store. These faggot devs will go out of their way to make it pretty much impossible to compile the code yourself, because of some very specific requirements that only they know about and won't disclose.

No. Linus is not a tech guy. He was a history major with normie tier tech understanding. The only reason he is famous is because he got a job at a pc manufacture who paid to have their videos algorithm'd. Him being the social media face of the company is what got him fame.

Dude is a straight-up tard.

>>109425220
I will complain, fuck you.
Its not hard to build a software and make it available instead of forcing everybody to do it for themselves
there are countless github projects which are made useless because dev dont want to take the few hours to set up an automated building and uploading

i got one of those retards on my project a couple weeks ago. i kept telling him to "just compile it yourself buddy" until he got so mad he said a bad word. then i contacted support and made a stink and got his account banned lmao

no excuse to not be able to compile something when you have so many ai tools available to hold your hand through the whole process. some people are just fundamentally helpless, you just have to insult them and laugh and go about your day

>>109422727
I'd say so. Leaving instructions about doing it yourself vs just uploading the damn thing is retarded.

>>109424898
He is genuinely that retarded, look no further than all the controversy about how bad their testing statistics were for a while.

people like this don't get any respect because they angrily demand things from hobbyists who stand to gain nothing from such users.
they owe you nothing. you can politely ask for an exe, but not demand one. you are not the target audience and you are not a paying customer.

>>109425449
-- not to mention not everything on github makes sense to be "an exe" in the first place, like this was said on a repo for the X recommendations algorithm, what would an exe of that even be? What would a user that acts like this possibly use it for? if you gave him an exe he'd then ask where the gui is, you know it.

>>109423521
>what if the people on their home computer used the executable, and the people on VNs can use the code if they can't get the exe to run on their setup?
Your excuse is as lazy as you. You don't have to think about shit, you just make one exe and let people deal with it if they have a weird setup. This shit really isn't that hard to think about.

>>109422935
>there's probably a project website somewhere with a clear and convenient download button.
99% of the time in the modern day, that place is shithub. If they're nice they'll include a link in the readme, otherwise get used to navigating to "releases" every time.
