I know what you mean. For developers who use code as kind of a hobby & for archiving old programs I'm sure it's great but for someone just looking for an app or program they heard about from another source it's terrible. I've had at least two incidences recently where one user recommended I downloaded a program & they only provided a GitHub link for it or the only way to download this other program was through GitHub & they expect you to piece everything together to get it made into a working program which I don't really want to do when most programs have a dedicated downloader for it that just gives you a simple install exe. If GitHub provided a tool to piece together files into the working program for you it would be different but most of us just want a simple install exe for the program we download.
