I really wish GitHub would open source these clients. If not for community contributors to poke at (it's kind of funny that a client based around open source code collaboration isn't open source), I'd at least like to see the code behind the UI. Github for Windows 2.0 is absolutely beautiful, and Github for Mac looks to be just as good.<p>I've read somewhere that Github for Windows uses WPF for the UI. There are no good looking open-source WPF apps that I'm aware of, so I'm very curious as to how it was made.
Does someone involved in the project know what is the status of desktop notifications? Last time I checked, it had been removed from the app, which was a deal breaker for me.
Probably a dumb question but can I use this for repositories hosted anywhere or does this only work with Github repositories?<p>I currently use SourceTree but only for solving conflicts and manually adding things to staging in increments. I would like to give this software a try.
I was using it only to see a nice diff with colours instantly. It bit me once, though. I couldn't figure out why my new folder 'icon' was being ignored. I checked the gitignore, update etc. The problem was the app added global gitignore config for mac icons.
Nicely done! If someone from the GitHub team is reading this, is there any plan in the future to integrate "issues" into the desktop client?
P.S. like the new style logo, seems Yosemite ready :)
