Yeah just give me the fucking exe you smelly nerds!
Here’s an exe and I swear it’s exactly built off the source… I swear… no remote access tool downloader inside of it, I swear… when would I ever lie to you?
Thank you! Was that so hard?!
Thankfully my internet friend SketchySteve builds all my EXEs. Ignore the Microsoft Defender false positives, terminals popping up, and cpu fans maxing out. Just sit back and listen to the keygen music.
No one told me coding would come with so many photos and random files
Binaries don't belong in the repo, because that would make it impossible to reliably reproduce builds based on a commit.
Yeah, you can upload them under Releases or link to the them in the readme
ehh, higher barrier of entry means less dumb bug reports.
Gatekeeping open source is new
Is it? When has anyone ever held your hand?
Actually saw an EXE on a edge remover tool on GitHub. I was like whaaaa then it said “Virus detected” and I was like ooooo. I downloaded it anyway.
I did a quick scan of the source code though.
lol
Sitting in GitHub hq rn lol
LOL, that 'Draw 25' look when you realize you forgot to gitignore your binaries and now your repo is a heavyweight champion. 🥴👾 #JustDevThings
Which languages are supposed to have binaries uploaded directly to GitHub? Most modern languages have a package repository for that.
It's about releasing a binary. Lots of projects are like "yeah just do these 20 prep steps and then compile it yourself for 30 min"
Like bruh just give me the shitty binary so I can use the software.
Why? Bruh, are you paying the devs for that? Maintaining CI/release code takes time and effort and not at all fun. You are a dev, so why can't you clone the shitty repo on your shitty computer and compile that shit yourself?
From a dev to a dev, if you struggle at creating a GitHub action so much that you have this attitude, then you are an incompetent.
Ok, here's a screenshot of the binary
