I would like to download an executable and check the checksum. E.g. https://github.com/030/go-yq/releases/tag/2.0.0

The courtney tool is only available as source, sorry.

To install, use go get:

go get -u github.com/dave/courtney

I know, but what about uploading the executables?

The target end users of courtney have Go installed so there's not a lot of benefit by distributing a compiled executable. The go get installation method is fine.

For other projects (e.g. blast) the target end-user may not have Go installed, so I distribute the executable with brew etc.

Other example: https://github.com/genuinetools/reg/releases. I prefer to use a specific version of a tool. What will happen if the tool gets updated and includes breaking changes?
