i have been to github and i don't understand it. everytime some website directs me there to download something, i cry a little bc there's never any clear indication of what to download and i give up and leave.

@nerdybutcute GitHub is more of a Dropbox style of site for teams (actual devs please ignore me). This means that there's no "one place" to download something, everyone (and every engine) has their own folder structure for projects. In general to download EVERYTHING in the project, click on the green Code, then Download ZIP.
@dropbear sure but half the time when i was sent there it was from a link that says, "oh, yeah, you can get the program at github" and then i'm staring at a billion files, exactly none of which have a helpful name, and no idea what i was meant to download. so, someone needs to tell programmers how to signal to non-programmers wtf they are doing.
space cats in a trenchcoat@nerdybutcute @dropbear came to say what dropbear said about the code/download button, but also that there's usually a readme lower on the page under the file list with instructions and sometimes a dedicated .exe or .zip download link. always scroll down and hopefully the dev has decent instructions in that readme. the readme should really be up top as the filelist is 99% of the time useless, dunno why they have it show first.
Moondew@grantlolwut @nerdybutcute @dropbear seconding this, if you need a download from github, 9/10 times you need to scroll past the file list to where you see text, and that'll usually explain what to download!
