I need to place on the Internet a build of a browser game created in Unity on WebGL (To open the game, you need to open index.html in the folder with the build). The build weighs 96mb, and on Github the file limit is up to 50mb. I learned on the Internet about Git LFS, which allows you to upload large files. But there are no normal tutorials in Russian, and in English it is not clear. I don't understand how to use it.
I just need a way to put the build online for free so I can have a link to the game so I can give it to other people. Thank you for your attention.

The answer is simple: Git Releases are designed for binary artifacts.

Since you do not need to store the build in the repository itself, I do not recommend using Git LFS. This is a controversial technology that was made to conveniently store and version frequently updated binaries in Git repositories.
If GitHub releases don't work for you, try a static website hosting service like Surge . Since you need to host your game, you can try services like Itch.io where you can host your games for free.
