The purpose of an open source project is not only to make the source code of a project visible but also to share it with public users. For each new version of the project (called a release), this share contains a release note as well as the binary resulting from the compilation of the project.
Thus, for a user who wishes to use this application, it's not necessary for them to retrieve the entire source code and compile it—they just have to retrieve the shared binary from the desired release and use it directly.
Note that a release is linked to a Git tag, which is used to position a label at a specific point in the source code's history. A tag is often used to provide a version number to the source code; for example, a tag can be v1.0.1.
