Sometimes, images are only usefull to know what a thing looks like
(logo, some screenshots) and have no additional information who can be
add in a alt.

I know the importance of alt, on lot of websites alt are misused and are
just noise to blind people. Sometimes, the alt value have to be empty.
For exemple, in download page, I remove "Wait" alt because after you
have the text "Please wait".
Alt can be empty if the information was already in the text around.
About web version of my repo, it's a known issue, you have to use git.
