About GitHub Desktop
GitHub Desktop makes common Git tasks available through a graphical interface. It helps review changes, create commits, and move between branches and repositories.
GitHub integrations fit naturally into the app, while the source is MIT licensed. This record covers the desktop client rather than the GitHub hosting service.
