Having executables packaged in a plugin

Developers: Plugin & API

I’m creating a plugin that uses rsync to sync my vaults to a server.
For Windows, it uses cwRsync supplied in the plugin in a folder.

I want to push this to the community plugins list, but it looks like the only things allowed in the Github release that will be seen/downloaded by the Community Plugins system are the manifest, styles, and main.js.

Any idea how I can package this executable with the plugin so when it’s downloaded from the Plugin Browser it’ll include those folders/binaries?

I ended up using wget, fs, and decompress to download and set up the Windows dependencies if they were not present and it was detected that your platform is Windows.
