Github Desktop Deb <Edge>

"Use Shiftkey’s repository," whispered one penguin to another. "Add ppa:shiftkey/desktop to your sources. Then sudo apt update && sudo apt install github-desktop ."

Lina rushed to the official GitHub releases page. There it was: GitHubDesktop-linux-x64-3.0.0.deb . It signed into her account

For years, the developers in Penguin Prairie had a problem. They needed to send code to the great (GitHub), but the official tool to do so easily—GitHub Desktop, with its beautiful visual history and one-click commits—was not built for their land. It had official inns (installers) in Windows Heights and Apple Isle, but in Penguin Prairie, they were left to fend for themselves.
