I can see the binary files are committed and pushed to a code branch on
github fork of NetBeans.
In my opinion this is an anti-pattern and binary files shall not be
committed to code repository (they add to the size of the repository).
Ideally all binaries coming out of build process shall be part of the
release (separate functionality tab) created on Github.
I believe when the installer creation code is pushed to the repository as
Geertjan mentions, then all these binary files will be available to be
added to the release section of NetBeans.
