Can Git be used as a "Publishing" and auto-updating facility?

Today I was looking for a replacement for the buggy ClickOnce and came to the conclusion that the idea of ​​​​using Git as a publishing tool looks very good, that is, the binaries with the application are rolled out to a separate repository on the same GitHub, the application is launched from a batch file like

  1. git-pull
  2. app.exe

Such a system looks very attractive, here is an integrity check "out of the box", and loading only changes and many other goodies. But from my (short) experience with Git, it always has some kind of problem, something hangs, then it breaks.
The question is for those who have worked with him longer, will such a solution work or will it fail 100% after a while?

there are no problems with git (at least at the level of your task).
you just need to know how to use it.
but the idea of ​​using github for distributing binaries is so-so.
