title: Serve public executable from private GitHub repository?
body: <p>I'm a contractor developing an app for a client and the code and exes are stored in a private github repository. They plan to sell the app through a WordPress-based store. I assumed or thought I read somewhere that files could be hosted on GitHub and in my tests it seemed to work – except it only worked because I was logged in to GitHub, with access to the private repo.</p>
  
  <p>Is there some setting or "feature" on GitHub which will allow us to link to an exe (or zip) from another site or from a link in a "purchase confirmation" type email?</p>
  
  <p>I've seen <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14032920/hosting-executable-on-github">Hosting executable on github</a> but it is quite old now and not really about private repos. </p>
