Uploading binary is allowed for releases, which is a kludgy way of getting images onto github.
For example, I forked the repo, marked it as release v0.0.2 and uploaded an image. This then gave me a link to the image I could embed in a post, like so: http://drlabratory.github.io/training-course/2014/11/attempt-to-attach-image/ Source here: https://github.com/drlabratory/training-course/blob/gh-pages/_posts/2014/11/2014-11-05-attempt-to-attach-image.md Submitting pull request against the swc repo doesn’t appear to bring my releases with it, however, which means the image is stuck in my repo. -- Jeramia J.
