This is an up-to-date fork of GitHub Desktop, with many quality of life improvements and advanced features for power users.
General:
- Red color for destructive action buttons.
- Add icons to some similar-looking buttons for faster visual recognition.
- Allow generating branch name presets by calling an external script (e.g. fetching ticket numbers from an issue tracker).
- Bitbucket and GitLab integration: preview and create pull requests, view pull requests status (including checks), display a commit or PR in Bitbucket/GitLab (web browser), and correctly set repository owner (instead of displaying "Other").
Repositories list:
- Pull all button to fetch and pull from all remotes at once.
- Allow hiding the 'Recent' repositories section.
Branches list:
- Add warning indicator to local-only branches (branches that are not on the remote).
- Allow manually setting which is the default branch for a repository (even if it doesn't match the one configured in the remote).
History tab:
- Search commits by title, message, tag, or hash.
- Use a different font style for merge commits in order to make them visually distinct, since most of the time they are not as relevant.
- If a commit modifies only 1 file, allow double-clicking the commit to open the file. For other commits, you can still double-click the file as usual.
Changes tab:
- Context menu option to permanently discard changes without sending to trash (useful when the there are many changed files and the regular "Discard" is extremely slow).
