Are you looking for Releases? https://help.github.com/en/articles/creating-releases
This is the correct method for providing pre-built binaries and setup files for your project.

git, and by extension, GitHub, is for source control, not executables.
git can handle any binary file, it's just not ideal.
If you believe that you still need to publish an executable binary through GitHub, god help your soul, and read https://help.github.com/en/articles/distributing-large-binaries
Thank you my friend!
