Use releases

Use releases tab instead of adding another version in dist folder.

I don't understand. What is "releases tab"?

[gorhill]

I can see it is not ideal when someone wants to fork or clone, there is over 350 MB of releases in there, most of them not very useful - because obsolete. I want to keep the history of all the releases though. I just want to understand what you have in mind.

Go to https://github.com/gorhill/httpswitchboard, above yellow strip (language statistics) you will see releases, or go directly to https://github.com/gorhill/httpswitchboard/releases

Releases are just Git tags (basically), with the additional feature that you can upload a compressed archive of the code as well.

Even if you don't upload anything you'll be able to download current state of a project as zip file. See https://help.github.com/categories/85/articles and https://developer.github.com/v3/repos/releases/. You can upload any binary files you want, it might be an installer, an archive, a CRX extension or everything above, and you can do it automatically using GitHub API!
