This program is the desktop alternative to the web service provided by GitHub. With its help, developers can easily access and manage the data they upload to the aforementioned online hosting service.

Those who are familiar with the web version of the GitHub service will surely be able to figure out how to handle this application. If you're new with GitHub services, check out the documentation available on the homepage of the developer as the program doesn't bring you a built-in help guide.

You can use this program to create branches, commit project changes, collaborate with other GitHub users, etc. In addition, the application helps you keep track of your project's history.

Another important advantage is the fact that you can use various hotkeys to quickly control the way GitHub Desktop operates. For example, you can use a shortcut key to immediately toggle developer tools or to display the repository list.

In conclusion, it's definitely worth installing this program on your Mac if you use your GitHub account often. It's feature-rich, works 100%, and is open source.
