In the documentation 2.5. Download source and documentation as a tarball — LAMMPS documentation there is a sentence saying:

Clicking “download a tarball” redirects back to the documentation 2.5. Download source and documentation as a tarball — LAMMPS documentation. Oops.
I think the [Download a tarball (here or from GitHub)] link should be seperated into two parts, where clicking “here” redirects to the section below on the same page, and clicking “Github” redirects to the Github release page.
