Host executables on GitHub?

Question

I want to distribute executables along with my source. My source is all hosted tidily on GitHub. Is it possible to add executables and installers to my GitHub project page without adding them to my git repository?

Answer 1

Yes, you can add a "Download" on the main view of your project (Source view). There's a big button called ... "Download"

The direct link is http://github.com/user/project_name/downloads
