On a tangent, I wonder if GitHub has any plans to serve binary downloads for projects in the future? Given how sleek the site is, this could make it the one-stop shop for many projects.

- kenneth_reitz 15y agoIsn't that one of the main uses of the Downloads area?
- shabble 15y agoUnless I'm missing something, it already can. "Downloads/add new download" allows you to upload various files and title them. See https://github.com/shabble/terminal-things https://github.com/shabble/terminal-things (hit the downloads button on the mid right)
- intellection 15y agoDo Downloads work? Is it as powerful? It is not clear you have every advantage git offers: real access requires equal representation in relation to mainstream commands. - Every git project frontpage looks different than "Downloads" page. - Downloads page has 2 sentences; new git-command-friendly project homepage has full good README page. - What about revision history? - Can you upload folders/multiples? Says "Upload a new file".... - Downloads is a sidebutton, not a main tab; it is a button custom-designed differently than every other button on page, uncertain. Differentials? P.S. Concerning title for your same tangent reason
