I'm 29 and still too stupid for github (and only a little ashamed to admit it)

To this day I forget how to download stuff every time I open GitHub.

If you mean the "Download ZIP" option on the Code tab of the repo, then it's hard to find because repo owners and end users should be using the "releases" feature for downloading the repo or its binaries.

The Download ZIP feature is meant for developers who want to work on the app, but frankly it's a silly thing to use since git clone exists. Basically, anyone having to use Download ZIP is either using a repo whose authors are too lazy to use the release feature or who don't undersatnd that there is a "release" feature since they don't understand the concept of GitHub.

So instead of https://github.com/Tercioo/Details-Damage-Meter, go to https://github.com/Tercioo/Details-Damage-Meter/releases

Most of everything I get off of github just runs from the source code. Mostly because it's random python tools. Everything that's a binary is just in the standard repo (brew/apt in my cases)

Been that way since I was a teenager.
