The man page https://rtyley.github.io/bfg-repo-cleaner/

have a link but no one see it, http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/madgag/bfg/1.13.0/bfg-1.13.0.jar

it is an universal consensus that we not put links into source code as the middle of $ java -jar bfg.jar --strip-blobs-bigger-than 100M some-big-repo.git...

Please change the page and the README to show the donload link.

Do you mean the download link behind the button https://rtyley.github.io/bfg-repo-cleaner/images/download-button.png with text Download v1.13.0.

When I hover on that my browser says it is going to go to http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/madgag/bfg/1.13.0/bfg-1.13.0.jar . So I'm not sure what it broken here. We need a larger download button? Or the link needs to be printed literally on the page?

Hi, is only about hypertext standards, the content is not a game, is only content: I and many others that are looking for the download never see de link, because never check a on-mouse-over in a peace of source code like this... a real standard link is like this.

Plese use standard links in your man pages.

PS: the Github and Stackoverflow are generating many many pageviews to your man page, supposing there are the download or install... And is very frustrating (for users) because no download link there.

I may have a hint on what you are experiencing now - what device/browser are you using to access the site? Is it a mobile device, or one with limited JavaScript support?

There's a style on the download link button (and a couple of related styles):

@media only screen and (max-width: 767px)
aside#sidebar a.button {
    display: none;
}

... so if you are working on a narrow-screen device, the download button is hidden.

Is that it? This is trying to discourage downloading onto a mobile device/phone etc.

@javabrett is not the problem, I see the link after play the videogame to on-mouse-over... The problem is that it is not a game, is a instruction and must be in a standard text, not in a free-game-layout or like artistic webpage.

PS: sorry my English and difficulty to express the problem.
