> GitHub is NOT trivial, and it is extremely browser centric. Trying to just download a file is an exercise in frustration if you're not familiar with GitHub. Copying a link to your clipboard that can actually be used to download a file is next to impossible, unless you already know how to use GitHub.

These concerns and specifically banning GitHub (the version control platform) were never mentioned by the organizers. The only reference to GitHub is in a section explicitly about pre-built template and sites like Wix that generate websites. At the very least we ought to recognize that the rule is ambiguous and ought to be amended.
) H. Framework systems, such as Drupal, Joomla,
Wordpress, Bootstrap, or other current technologies
may be used; however, pre-built templates and
themes for these sites are not permissible. If a
framework system is used, a statement affirming
that the template or theme used on the framework
was built by the team must be posted on an “About”
section or page.
) I. Template engine websites, tools, and sites that
generate HTML from text, markdown, or script files,
such as Webs, Wix, Weebly, GitHub, Jekyll, and Replit,
are NOT permitted.
