Github Download Button
View on Chrome Web StoreChrome will indicate if you already have this installed.
Overview
Ever had someone send you a GitHub link and had no idea how to actually download anything?
GitHub is built for developers. Finding the actual download for a real person buried in releases, branches, and source code is genuinely confusing. GitHub Download Button fixes that.
The moment you open any GitHub repository; a small panel appears in the corner. It finds whatever is available to download and puts it right in front of you. If the repo has a Windows installer, a Mac app, or a Linux package, it shows you the one that matches your computer first.
No Git. No terminal. No "clone the repo." Just a download button.
WHAT IT DOES
. Automatically detects the right file for Windows, Mac, or Linux
. Shows a plain-language rating so you know what you're getting into
(Simple = just download and open it. Technical = some setup needed.)
. Surfaces download links from the README when the developer hasn't set up official releases
. Falls back to raw source code if nothing else is available
. Dismisses quietly if you don't need it
WHAT IT DOESN'T DO
. No account required
. No data collected
. No trackers
. Only runs on github.com
Built for the person who just wants the app.
