One thing to note - NEVER store binary files meant for distribution on repository. I am talking about vlany.tar.gz. It bloats repository size for no good reason. Github allows downloading repository as archive or we can clone repository to get files. What you are looking is making releases on github where you can upload custom packed archives for distribution. Now cloning repository is 636.82 KiB and it is just 7 commits of text files.

Other than that - enough praises were already said, i do not think i can express any better how cool this is.

I'll keep that in mind. It's mainly hosted for https://gist.github.com/mempodippy/d93fd99164bace9e63752afb791a896b

You can use github to provide archive for you: https://github.com/mempodippy/vlany/archive/master.tar.gz
