First add a README.md. It's unclear what is recommended way to use it.
My assumption was first that it was going to be repo that r96 model packs are based on, and people able to clone (and later pull) to keep current rolling version.
Then a subdir appeared with bunch of old versions. Not something I needed to git pull. Suggestion: Either move those to releases section (ideal, and will be permanent url), or if you really want to keep them in the repository, make another branch for them, so can clone --single branch and not get the entire back catalog, and less likely for them to change if in a branch nobody is using for development.
Second, please don't use spaces in foldernames in a git repo. It makes it inconvenient to type, have to use quotes or escape characters, etc, and can lead to potential problems unless you're careful. Its far easier and more conventional to not use spaces. So if you do move to another branch, and do use a subfolder, just call it archived or something. But better just to add to releases, but if you must keep in repo for some reason and use another branch, call the branch archived and dont use subdirs in it at all.

Still copies of archived releases in main branch. There is no need for that archived version folder in the repository and just wasting everyones disk space, bandwidth, and time.
Now it appears the Render96 folder has been removed!! So if a user pulls, it will disappear. Models gone.
And then new folders. If one of them is the render96 folder renamed, sure pulling will rename it for users, but anything linking to it (like builds of sm64) won't know the folder was renamed. I just saw this now and haven't taken the time to try to figure out what's going on with the four folders, but quick glance looks like LOTS of duplicated files. This makes no sense. The only reason to put four versions in one branch would be if they have lots of shared files, one is the main one and the others link from there with only minor difference.
The way this is structured it appears to be designed without any consideration to space, bandwidth, development, or usage.
Just some suggestions.
