While I agree that repos with docs should have "releases", in GitHub parlances, with compiled PDFs/ebooks/whatever, building it yourself is as simple as

    git clone https://github.com/f8-arch/doc.git f8-doc && cd f8-doc
    docker run --rm -v "$(pwd)":/data fabtesta/ubuntu-xelatex make  # or any other container with XeLaTeX that you trust
    xdg-open manual.pdf
The future is now, old man.
