Why would someone go to GitHub if they don't want to download source code? Please, an example.

- stock_toaster 15y agoI agree, and to go further, even _if_ a non-developer did on github (maybe higher in the search rankings), for many popular projects you can generally find the consumer facing url via the "homepage" link. Example: https://github.com/rack/rack https://github.com/rack/rack homepage url points to http://rack.rubyforge.org/ http://rack.rubyforge.org/ https://github.com/tenderlove/nokogiri https://github.com/tenderlove/nokogiri => http://nokogiri.org/ http://nokogiri.org/ https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew => http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/ http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/ https://github.com/joyent/node https://github.com/joyent/node => http://nodejs.org/ http://nodejs.org/ etc, etc. It also seems fairly common to put the 'consumer' url near the top or bottom of the README.
