Github Download Page / Button not visible anymore

Question

I used to upload binary files using the downloads / add download ... button on the files tab in my repo. This functionality seems to be gone. Does anybody have any idea why? Temporary Github issue / browser issue / ...?

Answer 1

GitHub uploads were discontinued on december 11th. See the blog post for more information.

Summary:

You can't upload anymore and the download tab is gone. The download area and the downloads will continue to work for another 90 days. Just add /downloads to the link of your repository.

EDIT: Archive.org archived all github downloads that were available when github shut down uploading: http://archive.org/details/github-downloads-2012-12

EDIT: A similar to thing to downloads to launched July 2013: GitHub Releases. There you can add uploads to releases, which is what most people were doing with GitHub Downloads anyways.
