You must compile the program yourself, and upload the binaries. Itch cannot do that for you.

I’m guessing you’re on Windows. Consider installing MinGW. I’ve found it pretty good for C and C++ programming on Windows. Others might also recommend Visual Studio, but I prefer something not so bloated and Microsoft-y.

are there any online compilers?

Unlikely. If there were they’d almost surely work only barely, if at all.

If somebody asks this question, chances are 90% that they’re on Windows. The other 10% is Chromebook.

I did not say nor imply that it’s impossible.

Either way, your “technically yes” answer means just as much as my no – it’s useless to someone with his knowledge. The amount you put out would overwhelm him to the point of simply giving up.

I too could’ve made an essay on how to setup a VPS and (insert 50 obscure programming terms), “technically”, but I found it would’ve made me the ass instead.

Making threats is against our terms of service. You started it. In a discussion about compilers. Please reconsider.

It’s possible to use the CI/CD system of websites like Github, to generate your builds online.

On Github, this is free for open-source projects, and relatively low cost for closed source projects. It’s a method that can be used to potentially distribute your C++ game.
