GitHub Desktop is the official client of this popular platform for developers that allows you to create, store, manage and share code. The goal of this desktop version is to enjoy all the benefits of the Git version control system, without any of the drawbacks. Thanks to this, you'll be able to speed up the code management of any project from your PC desktop.

Log in with your GitHub account

To work smoothly with GitHub Desktop, you'll need a GitHub user account. If you already have a GitHub account, all you have to do is log in through your browser, and if you don't have one, you can create one for free within the app itself. It's very simple: all you have to do is enter an email address and a secure password, and in less than a minute, you'll be able to access your account.

Several settings options

It's a good idea to take a look at the Settings before starting to work seriously with GitHub Desktop. First, you'll have to choose whether you want to perform integrations using an internal or external shell. You'll also be able to manually edit the Git setup, and, of course, there are several options to customize the program's interface itself, such as light and dark themes.

The most convenient and flexible way to maintain your code

One of the great advantages of using GitHub Desktop is that it allows you to make quick adjustments within any branch, incorporate new changes or revert to previous states in mere seconds. You can also make changes to the history of any project with a few simple adjustments. Thanks to this Windows client, working with your code is made much easier.

Manage your repositories easily

Download GitHub Desktop if you manage one or more GitHub repositories and want to do so more quickly and easily. With this client, you'll be able to manage all your code locally, review any changes before publishing, compare versions easily and, of course, share it with the other users in your project. This is a very useful tool for anyone who works regularly with GitHub.
