Using any branch will balloon the size of the repository. It's much better to use something like S3.


The size isnt a particular worry, this is a JavaScript library that should be producing small files.

s3 is another service to manage which is annoying, but it probably is the best option.

It is a shame, I do appreciate Github needs to focus on what is important, but this change stopped it from being a one stop shop for quite a few OS projects.


> should be producing small files

You'd be amazed how even small zip files can quickly make a repo an unruly monster. Tread carefully if you take that route.
