I wanted to suggest a better platform for the Windows 10 XPE plugins and move this towards GitHub. I would say this is better solution for history management of plugins/scripts and would be a better way to download newer plugins instead of using solutions like Mega.nz for that request

Most of Win10XPE is updated by user.  On occasion a script needs to be edited due to program file changes...
You will notice APT posting App updates - usually just changing program version number and hit "U" button to update the program files...

I agree Github is a better solution for project hosting. People that contribute plugins could be given write access to the project. It does have some complications with the 100MB single file size limit. This means that files with a large embedded zip / 7z file have to be split so archive is external which is a better solution anyway. Embedding a large binary file more than doubles its size. In my experiments did not find any archive to be greater than 100MB in size.
