How to download a ready application from Github? Like jquery?

Question

JavaScript

JQuery тут исключительно в качестве примера, это относится к 90% всех репозиториев на Github.

Вот заходим на Github/jquery/jquery
И где тот самый единственный файл в котором лежит готовый jquery?
Я понимаю, что он разбит на модули и всё такое, но должен ведь быть, хоть в какой-нибудь ветке, собранный проект в один файл!? Или нет?

Если я хочу скачать приложение, я смогу это сделать с гитхаба?

Let's say you want to download some JavaScript library. To do this, you go to the library website and download the version you need, or if there is no website, or you want to build it yourself from source, go to github and read the description of the repository. If you are lucky and the author has written how to get what you want, follow the instructions. If not, then you have to think with your head :(
