Manage your projects
What is Github Desktop? It is a GUI (Graphical User Interface) for Git and command line. It focuses on code management while allowing you to collaborate on projects with people from all over the world while learning how to use Git easily.

GitHub Desktop delivers a powerful, user-friendly experience to those project developing with Git.
First off, using GitHub Desktop is easy. It has an effective and easy to use design, which stands especially strong when compared to SourceTree. SourceTree is complicated to use and to communicate through. Users can expect to begin using GitHub for Windows without too much learning.
There are various tiers to Desktop, but even with the free version, collaboration with other people is possible. You can see what changes people have made and reverse them if need be, which is true for most version control software.
The program recently became open-source, which puts it on even footing with GitKraken in this area. The main downside is that it cannot handle the more complicated aspects of Git.
Where can you run this program?
You can run this program on computers running Windows 7 or later.
Is there a better alternative?
No, GitKraken is a bit easier for management and has an even more attractive UI but lacks the versatility and collaboration aspect of GitHub Desktop. SourceTree is inferior in every way to the other two.
Our take
In conclusion, it is a great program that is simple to work with for a beginner but powerful enough for advanced users. With its emphasis on working with people and open-source, it provides a superior experience.
Should you download it?
Yes, if you need a project development manager for Git, this is a perfect choice.
