GitHub Desktop is a free, open-source, Electron-based application that simplifies working with GitHub (and other Git-hosted repositories) via a graphical interface. It’s written in TypeScript and React, offering an intuitive alternative to command-line Git workflows. Want to test out new features and get fixes before everyone else? Install the beta channel to get access to early builds of Desktop.
