Use a master (or "main") branch, and do not put the zip archive in it?
Hello! Thank you for working on this. I was looking at your repo and was a bit surprised to see the zip file committed in there, and the 0.0.1 branch only rather than a master branch. Wouldn't it be more standard to use a master branch, then rely on tags for releases (i.e. "v0.0.1" and the like), and rely on Gitlab's releases feature to generate the zip files and make them available for download, without committing them in the git tree (and thus making it heavier than it should be)?
