Instead of storing big data files in the repository you can upload them as release assets which are publicly available
Or use GDAL

IMPORTANT NOTES:
-
These URLs follow a series of redirects to eventually a signed URL valid for 5 minutes in AWS S3 us-east-1
-
Don't abuse this! This approach is shoehorning a feature intended for software, not data releases. I think this works well for a handful of images, but this is not a long-term or high-performance storage strategy. You'll likely get much better performance serving your data directly from AWS S3 or another object store.
