Describe the Bug

I tried reinstalling BD since I had some problems.
When repairing or installing BD the installation failes and the installer shows the followinglog:

Anything else?

No response

having the same issue, seems like a security certificate or something on the website expired a few days ago???

This is a problem on Github's side, not BetterDiscord. See how even our Github Avatars are broken?
Github's SSL/TLS certificate is expired.

I believe Github is aware of the problem, see https://www.githubstatus.com/

Same issue here

same problem

Downloading the installer gives an SSL error. As @Risusama pointed out this seems to be an issue with a certificate tied to Github and not BD.

It seems to be fixed. Is it just for me, or for everyone else too?

It does, for me too at least. Thanks

But the reason why I tried to reinstall BD is because every time I try to open it with existing plugins, it just crashes
