Extra files do not matter. However, the zip on the repo main tab is automatically generated by GitHub and is not meant for installing in Kodi. Installable zips can be downloaded from "Releases" tab.
As for quick experiments, it's better to do them in place. When I want to quickly check/try something, I launch Kodi, switch to Total Commander with Alt+Tab and open addon files in SublimeText. You don't need to re-launch Kodi -- change your code, switch back to Kodi, try the code, change it again if necessary, and repeat until you are done.
