Sorry for the inconvenience. This is a very good point, and I have been thinking about how to best handle this since a while.
Initially, this project was just for the Raspberry Pi, and it is most convenient for Raspberry Pi users that a simple "pull" will give them the latest version. No libraries to install, nothing to build.
Now as the project is spreading and more people are using it on other Linux and Unix systems, I will have to package the project in a way which is also convenient for users of other systems. I will do that in a while. In the mean time, probably the easiest is to do the following:
git checkout tek4010
git pull
rm tek4010
make
from tek4010.
I think it is best if binaries (executables and object files) were not present. I, too, am mostly building this on systems other than the Pi, and the presence of pi-specific binaries is in the way.
Removing the file and rebuilding after a pull is fine, but the presence of the newly rebuilt binary can interfere with future pulls as well. Better if they weren't there.
BTW, I have some other modifications that make it easier to build on non-pi, non-linux systems (mostly changing Makefiles to not hard-code gcc, and scripts to not hard-code /bin/bash). If you ever move to make this repo less tied to the pi by removing binaries, I'll submit a PR.

You could add a clean target to the makefile, so that 'make clean' will remove the binary. Another option would be be different targets for systems like tek4010-pi, tek4010-linux. Then users can use the prebuild binary appropriate for the system. A 'make all' would build all targets then.

I agree this is a bit of a nuisance. I have this automatically built as a submodule of the ITS repository, so I had to add a workaround to first remove the binary.

Why not use the "releases" feature of github? Then you can make a single executable available or a ZIP file or whatever.
