Host executables on GitHub?

Question

I want to distribute executables along with my source. My source is all hosted tidily on GitHub. Is it possible to add executables and installers to my GitHub project page without adding them to my git repository?

Note, for some reason GitHub discontinued this feature. See Answer by Justin Dearing below.

~~You cannot host executables on github.~~

You can now use releases.

As was updated in the linked page, the new Releases feature can be used to upload executables and installers. – splintor Aug 25 '13 at 06:15

You can use GitHub's Releases for that.
