Description

I am trying not to be too harsh.

This repository is very badly organized. Not just are there a bunch of assets in the git history (including deleted stuff), but also every release has a TSH.exe in the git history. This is not just bad practice and unnecessary and unhelpful due to binaries having basically unusable change histories, but it bloats up the whole repository. Cloning the repository takes 10 minutes and takes up 5GB compressed and 50GB uncompressed!

This is highly impractical for developing and releasing. I would highly recommend and greatly appreciate squashing the history without assets, or at least without TSH.exe, and include them as proper assets in a GitHub release.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by auditing the Git history for assets and recurring TSH.exe binaries, then review how GitHub release assets are handled; done means the repository history is reduced without those binaries and releases provide the needed assets.
