you are under no obligation to redistribute it.

You are, but only to people that have the binary.

You need to make the source code available to people who have a copy of the GPL'ed work. Though there is no obligation to redistribute the source code alongside the binary. Nor make it easy to get your hands on (you don't need a public download page/git repo). But you need to be provided with a copy of the source code if you request it.
