GitHubDesktop – Command-line note

Network administrators can deploy GitHub Desktop to Windows workstations on an Active Directory-managed network using the .msi installer package via Group Policy or another remote installation system; this extracts the standalone .exe and schedules installation on next user sign-in, requiring only user directory permissions.
