Naming Your Binary Executable Releases

My universal binary installer tool, ubi, has to deal with a lot of “interesting” decisions when it comes to how people name their releases on GitHub. So in the interests of making the world of binary executable releases more machine-readable and a little less weird1, here are my recommendations on naming your release files. The TLDR is: Either use an extension or don’t include periods in the filename. Use well-known operating system and CPU architecture names as part of the filename.
