    Aside from the fact that you'd have to be insane to run an executable from some random github repo that doesn't even include the source code, why would anyone need this when Windows Subsystem for Linux is a thing?

    You have a readme file in this repo and that's all. What's the release built from?

    Even the releases only contains a readme file and not the executable you claim.

      i have source code in another private repository. should i make it as public?

        You figure that out. Nobody here is going to download and run a random executable.

          It is not random I assure. Please download it if you want to run a linux package on windows. I want to keep the source code confidential. The 1.2 gb is Linux kernel only.

    The GH repository that contains the binary that is pulled by your release script is not available. I smell a rat.

      my private repository is having the source code. do you need it as public?
