That went so well until your proposed alternative was Microsoft.
At least github is easier than the shit that is nexusmods
Also there are alternatives
Gitlab.. sourceforge..
Ive downloaded a lot of mods from sourceforge over the years
Your poor malware ridden computer….
Yeah, but all of it's for Windows XP.
I know what Microsoft's general reputation is, but it's undeniable that GitHub has only seen improvements since Microsoft acquired it.
Embrace
Extend
Estinquish
They have not changed.
That only makes sense if Microsoft had a GotHub competitor lol. I think it was more about getting that juicy data and making copilot.
Yeah, an alternative using git would be good probably, but maybe don't use github. Preferably though, it'd be agnostic and just target some git repo anywhere. It'd pull from a description file for the page to ensure a uniform appearance preferably, and it'd show and manage versions from some uniformly named folder on the repo.
