There’s also the method of just including the mods in a release and simply updating them with new releases, but then the repo would be empty

Late reply but even then, just know GitHub puts developers before users, so if you were to just upload your mods on a repo, people would have to download the entire repo rather than individual mods (well, they still can, but they have to go to each one and choose the option to download)

I guess so, but it’s not necessarily encouraged
