About

An open-source software directory: GitHub projects that are already installable and ready to use, sorted by purpose and platform, with installers, release history and SHA256 checksums in one place, plus mirror-accelerated downloads.

What this site is

GitHub Store is a directory of open-source software.

What it does: pick out the GitHub projects that are already packaged and ready to install, group them by what they do and which platforms they support, and put each project's installers, older versions and SHA256 checksums in one place, so you do not have to page through a Releases list hunting for the file that matches your system.

It also handles two things GitHub itself does not: download speed, by rewriting links through mirror sources so you are not waiting on a direct connection to time out; and rollback, so when a version breaks something you can drop back one release without digging through old tags.

No installer files are stored here. Every download resolves to the original GitHub Release URL or a mirror forward. Copyright stays with each repository's author.

What is listed, and what is not

Two things decide inclusion: whether it can be installed, and whether the link still works.

Listed

  • Ships downloadable artifacts: exe, msi, dmg, pkg, AppImage, deb, rpm, apk, ipa, zip and similar
  • Finished software that runs locally, or a library or framework other projects can call directly
  • The repository is still reachable and has a release history

Not listed

  • Source-only repositories with no release artifacts, since anything you have to compile yourself is not ready to install
  • Documentation-only repos, config collections, image assets, tutorial repositories
  • Archived repos, repos with no releases for a long time, or repos whose links no longer open
  • Anything involving cracking, paywall bypass or copyright infringement

Where the content comes from

Every project write-up is reorganised from the repository itself: the readme, the versions and platforms named in its release history, and the file names and sizes of its installers. The result is meant to answer what this is and whether it is worth installing, rather than a copy-paste of the first few lines of a README.

Categories and tags are assigned by what the software actually solves, not by copying the topics a repository lists for itself. That is why the same program can land in a category that better matches how people use it: one media player may be filed as a tool, another as an entertainment app, depending on the use case.

When a project gets delisted

Listing is not permanent. A project is removed when any of these happen:

  • The repository is deleted, made private or no longer public, and the link stops working
  • Several consecutive releases ship no downloadable installer
  • The repository goes a long time without updates and can no longer be installed or used
  • The rights holder or the author asks for removal

The page is removed from the site, but the record stays on the Delisted page with the repository name, reason and date, so you can tell whether a project is really gone or you just could not find it.

A renamed or transferred repository is not delisted — the sync follows it to its new address, and old links redirect to the new page. If a project comes back, it is struck from the delisted record so the two places do not contradict each other.

Core features

Download acceleration

Built-in multi-mirror sources (ghproxy, CF Worker, etc.), automatically selects the fastest download channel, no more waiting.

Smart classification

Automatically identifies Windows / macOS / Linux / Android platform installers, categorized by platform and architecture, locate the version you need in one click.

Historical version rollback

Keeps all Release records, supports rolling back to any historical version at any time, no more struggling to find old versions.

SHA256 verification

Provides the SHA256 checksum for each installer; verify file integrity in one click after download to ensure the file has not been tampered with.

Data sync

Scheduled sync updates ensure software versions stay up to date, getting new features and bug fixes in time.

Smart search

Supports multi-dimensional search by repo name, keywords, platform, etc., quickly pinpointing the software you need from massive Releases, no more manual searching.

Workflow

  1. 01

    Repo discovery

    GitHub Store automatically identifies popular repositories on GitHub and repos actively submitted by users.

  2. 02

    Smart classification

    Automatically identifies Windows / macOS / Linux / Android platform installers, categorized by platform and architecture.

  3. 03

    Data sync

    Periodically syncs the latest Release info for each repo (every 12 hours, dynamically adjusted by repo popularity), ensuring versions stay up to date.

  4. 04

    Mirror acceleration

    When downloading, rewrites the download link to the corresponding mirror source based on user selection, enabling accelerated download.

FAQ

Does GitHub Store store installer files?
No. GitHub Store only aggregates GitHub Release metadata and provides mirror acceleration links; all installers are still hosted on GitHub or mirror source servers.
How do I submit a new repo?
Visit the Submit repo page, enter the GitHub repo URL (format: https://github.com//); after approval, we will periodically sync that repo's Release info.
Are the downloaded files safe?
Files come from the original GitHub Release URL or mirror source forwarding. Each installer provides a SHA256 checksum; we recommend verifying file integrity after download. If you find anything abnormal, stop using it immediately and report to us.
How often is the data updated?
A scheduled task auto-syncs all indexed repos' Release info every 12 hours (dynamically adjusted by popularity), ensuring the latest versions are always shown.

GitHub Store only aggregates data and provides mirror acceleration, and does not store any installer files. All software copyrights belong to the original repo authors. Downloaded installers come from GitHub Release, forwarded via mirror sources for acceleration. Users should verify file integrity (SHA256) after download.
