Cool! We finally have downloads back! It looks like this fails on tag names that have a slash in them.

With their recent $100mm round, they might be working on this already. Could lead to an interesting future of software selling/piracy, where those that will buy, buy, and those that are desperate not to can git clone make clean; make install
I've already seen a number of apps in the Mac App Store that take this exact approach. Two examples off the top of my head: Textual, an IRC client [1, 2] Blink, a SIP client [3, 4]...this is pretty difficult to compile, though... ----- [1] https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/textual/id403012667 [2] https://github.com/Codeux/Textual [3] https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/blink-lite/id431473881 [4] http://icanblink.com/downlo…

#43This sounds like the death of SourceForge. (I know, you could argue that it's already dead, and also argue that it's very much alive)
Schrödinger's source code repository?

Cyberduck, an FTP client, takes a similar (though easier) approach. You can buy it on the Mac App Store for $23.99 [0], get precompiled binaries for free on their website [1], or grab the source yourself [2].

Re: Releases – a workflow for shipping software to end users
#45Is there any way to add the release notes via a git commit? This is very nice, but it introduces further dependence on GitHub if something like that isn't possible. I suppose as long as there's API access someone could / will write an exporter, though. Anyway, great stuff either way!
Agree - would be awesome if the release notes were stored as part of the git repo, and editable from anywhere.

Why would you ever do that instead of just download as zip or clone?
edit For example, `curl https://raw.github.com/documentcloud/backbone/master/backbon... > js/lib/backbone-min.js`

The benefit of it being open-source was that I could try it, use it, and hack it, before deciding they'd done a damn good job.

#50Also, you used to have ZIP and Tarball downloads in the past, can you please bring back the Tarball downloads?
