It is no longer possible to download packages from the GitHub UI #69687

Dear @Th3S4mur41 , As of my last knowledge, GitHub did allow you to attach binary assets to releases, and these assets could be downloaded directly from the GitHub UI. This was especially useful for distributing packages like npm, as you mentioned. However, GitHub's features and user interface may have changed since then. If you're experiencing issues with this feature or believe it has been removed, it's possible that GitHub has made updates to their platform or there might be a configuration issue with your specific repository. To resolve this, consider the following steps:
Please note that the state of software and web platforms can change rapidly, and the information I provided is based on my last update in January 2022. It's possible that GitHub has made updates or changes to their platform since then. I recommend checking the latest GitHub documentation and community forums for the most up-to-date information on this matter. |

Body
It the past, the asset bound to a package (e.g. npm) was provided in the GitHub UI as a link that made it downloadable from the GUI.
This is no longer the case, so the feature is either broken or removed.
This was pretty useful and should definitely be added back in.
