#GITHUB DESKTOP VERSION CODE#

The improved feature will make it easier for developers to keep track of code changes and requests, Silva said.

#GITHUB DESKTOP VERSION SOFTWARE#

In prior versions of GitHub Desktop, software developers had to sift through hundreds of notifications for every event in every repository - most of which were noise. "This means that developers will become more productive," he said.Īnother welcome feature is the improved notifications process.

The consolidation of issue resolution and security analysis gives developers the ability to remediate vulnerabilities more easily before sharing work, said Ankur Papneja, product manager at Contrast Security, an application security company. "In other words, it helps me focus on my tasks at hand." "This adds more convenience to my work and decreases the number of places I have to check when working with the repository," said Olena Kutsenko, a developer and software engineer at Aiven, a multinational open source data cloud company. Silva isn't the only developer finding value in the new feature. Kimberly Silva, senior software engineer and CEO at FindPeopleFirst, a people finder service, thinks this new functionality is helpful because it enables developers to try and resolve transitory check issues without exiting the app. GitHub Desktop 3.0 informs developers specifically why a check failed. "I don't think GitHub Desktop is going to change my life much," he said about the release.

Grant Fritchey, a DevOps product advocate at Redgate, was also less than impressed the 3.0 version. That's because most of its developers use the Git command line or an IDE integration, he said.

#GITHUB DESKTOP VERSION UPDATE#

"The update isn't relevant," said Jeff Foster, head of product engineering at Redgate. Software developers at Redgate, a software provider for compliant database DevOps in Cambridge, England, said that Desktop 3.0 has little to offer for developers with workflows already in place. They want to see better cross-platform connectivity, pre-populated information in pull requests and stash improvements. Others, however, have described the rollout as lackluster. " New contributors may not have their GitHub notifications set up in such a way to see things like failed checks, and pointing them to the GitHub Desktop experience should help reduce our back-and-forth dialogue on the pull request itself to get it merged."

"For onboarding new contributors into Camunda Community Hub projects, GitHub's update may be hugely impactful," said Amara Graham, head of developer experience at Camunda, an open source workflow and decision automation platform. Some software developers welcome the new additions, including prioritizing notifications from team members and the ability to see checks for pull requests to make sure code is production-ready. THose settings are not present in a non-GitHub embedded version of Git, and would need to be restored.The update added the ability to review the status of pull request check runs and view important notifications. This file points to GitHub Desktop specific settings: So you can't force easily GitHub Desktop to use another git version.Įven if you were able somehow to force GitHub for Desktop to use another version of Git, you would have to carefully report its own internal git system configuration: C:\Users\vonc\AppData\Local\GitHub\PortableGit_c2b.\etc\gitconfig However, that would not work: when starting GitHub Desktop again, it would detect the change and restore its own embedded Git version (1.9.5) You could, in theory, replace the exact value of the folder PORTAB~1 by a directory JUNCTION: cd %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\GitHubĭir # take note of the exact name of PORTABLEGIT folder: However, as I mentioned here, git is also included in GitHub Desktop own installation path ( %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\GitHub\PORTAB~1\bin)

#GITHUB DESKTOP VERSION ARCHIVE#

I always use the archive portable form (unzipped anywhere I want, and added to the PATH).īut if you have chosen the exe setup, that means it has been installed in C:\Program Files\Git.

#GITHUB DESKTOP VERSION WINDOWS#

See Brendan Foster tweet.įirst, the latest git for windows release is available here on GitHub. For what it is worth, GitHub Desktop (finally) uses a more recent git version: 2.5.
