Sometimes I write poems, mostly in English and Spanish
I feel weird putting my age in my bio but I am in fact a Grown Up if you were worried

github might be one of the least intutitive sites to download anything from to a non-tech expert and what's particularly frustrating is the tech expert types seemingly having no clue that github is INCREDIBLY hard to parse
seriously, look at this screenshot (for example) and tell me where im supposed to click to download what i need
maybe it would serve tech experts well to remember that when they were first introduced to version control the learning curve was nonzero
also:
git is (arguably) an appropriate tool for developers or hobbyists, in the case where you're just sharing something you made with no promise of actual releases or support
it is not an appropriate tool for making end users interact with
don't expose your end users to your version control
don't
Even as a semi-regular git user, I still get confused when I want to download from github rather than interact with it as a programmer. It's somehow worse than SourceForge
