GitHub Desktop Launches To Replace Mac and Windows Apps

Posted by samzenpus on from the brand-new dept.

An anonymous reader writes: GitHub today launched a unified desktop version for Mac and Windows — you can download it from desktop.github.com. GitHub Desktop will automatically replace the previous Mac and Windows apps and can be used alongside GitHub Enterprise. Venturebeat reports: "...GitHub was tired of the differences between its two apps and decided it was time to align them. The hope is that if Mac and Windows users have the same workflow, it will be easier for them to work together (and for individual users to switch between the two platforms)."

  1. Re:Github Code of Conduct: White male discriminati by c4757p · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Not just "white male discrimination", rather a whole lot of eyeroll-worthy rules designed to make everybody always afraid of offending someone else...

    Harassment includes, but is not limited to:

    [snip]

    Physical contact and simulated physical contact (eg, textual descriptions like "hug" or "backrub") without consent or after a request to stop

    ...so the last time I action-messaged somebody "/me hugs $NICK" on IRC as a tongue-in-cheek expression of cheerful approval, I was actually harassing him? Because I didn't say "hey, do you mind if I totally non-sexually pretend to hug you via text?" first? No, just go pound sand.
