There's no point in git cloning this repository.

Please delete this line. It looks kinda suspicious. Do it like other projects do it. Make 2 installation instructions: one for downloading a binary from the releases page and another one for compilation.

Because so many user download Github repo as zip. And ask how to launch game in discord server. This is just a warning to them.

Huh that's weird. Usually people that are familiar with GitHub do know that the releases page exist.

[–] sag@lemm.ee 3 points 3 months ago

Yea, It's wierd I know.

If someone's downloading a github repo as a zip I'd consider that a sign they're not familiar with github lol
