I had the same thought about the download link -- it does seem a bit odd.
But if you think about it, it does make sense. Very few people will not have JavaScript enabled -- those who do will be web developers or other technologically-minded individuals. I'm sure this is not exactly valid, but . . . it seems to me, at least, that a lot of the time this sort of person is going to be using either Linux or an Apple system.
Between the two, AFAIK, a Linux system is far more likely to have git installed already. If not, most would probably want to install it via their distribution's package manager (as the Linux download page actually directs you to do). So it does seem a semi-logical choice.
Personally, though -- I would have fallen back to a list of download links for different platforms.
- tar 14y agoMany web developers use Windows and might have their JavaScript disabled. What about them?
