GitHub app. It is written in [TypeScript](http://www.typescriptlang.org) and
uses [React](https://facebook.github.io/react/).

## What is this repository for?

This repository contains specific patches on top of the upstream
`desktop/desktop` repository to support Linux usage.

It also hosts preview packages for various Linux distributions:

 - AppImage (`.AppImage`)
 - Debian (`.deb`)
 - RPM (`.rpm`)
 - Snap (`.snap`) - also available from [snapcraft.io](https://snapcraft.io/github-desktop)

Check out the [latest releases](https://github.com/shiftkey/desktop/releases) to
help out with testing on your distribution.

If you install the Snap package, ensure you also connect it to your password
manager:

```shellsession
$ sudo snap connect github-desktop:password-manager-service
```

Without this, GitHub Desktop cannot store or retrieve account details it
requires in the user's keychain.

## Other Distributions

Arch Linux users can install GitHub Desktop from the
[AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/github-desktop/).
