winget install --id GitHub.GitHubDesktopAbout GitHub Desktop
GitHub Desktop is an open-source Electron-based GitHub app. It is written in TypeScript and uses React.
What's new in 3.6.2
[Fixed] Invoking Desktop from the command line inside a worktree now opens the existing repository with the worktree selected instead of prompting to add a new repository - #22378 [Fixed] Scrolling no longer gets stuck when the pointer is over a tall group in the repository list - #22387. Thanks @peteski22!
