We've all felt this at least once be honest with yourself.

Yeah I was like yes why isn't there an obvious download binaries tab easily found (there is sometimes right?)

Gold goes to Qt though, hell to just download and decompress it...

there is, it's called "releases" and it's like 2 clicks to download an executable, it's not a github issue at all, and github isn't meant to be where you get your executables anyways

I still do sometimes. Wish they release a build so I don't have to download all the dependencies and learn how to use a new program to build the damn thing

If you're talking about the repo in the screenshot, it's a python script, so a binary release is going to be fun.

If you're talking about GitHub in general, you can download binaries from releases, if they're provided.

It is a lot easier now that even Windows has a decent package manager tbf.
