GitHub Desktop

GitHub Desktop allows developers to synchronize branches, clone repositories, and more. Pull requests, merge button, fork queue, issues, pages, wiki: all awesome features that make sharing easier. But those things are only great after you've pushed your code to GitHub.

GitHub Desktop Features

• Synchronize branches - The sync button pushes your changes to GitHub and pulls down other's changes in one operation. It notifies you know when you have changes you haven't pushed or there are new changes on GitHub you haven't pulled down.
• Clone repositories in one click - When you add repositories to GitHub Desktop for Mac, we automatically match them up with any organizations you belong to. Want to pull down a repository from GitHub.com? Check out the button on the website.
• Powerfully simple branching - Branching is one of Git's best features. We've made it easy to try out remote branches, create new local branches and publish branches to share with others.

New:

• Added the Branch > Create Pull Request menu item
• Added the `github` command line tool

Improved:

• Better error message when publishing a repository fails

Fixed:

• Cloning a repository's wiki
• Don't call GitHub Enterprise GitHub.com
• Don't push after publishing a repository if the branch is unborn
• Don't close dialogs when clicking the title bar
• macOS: Closing the window wouldn't exit fullscreen
• Scale blankslate images so they look nicer on high resolution displays
• Move the 'Forgot Password' link to fix the tab order of the sign in view
