GitHub is an online hosting service created for developers and meant to help them share their works, get feedback for their projects, and much more. This Mac utility was designed for the developers who have GitHub accounts and wish to easily manage the data they upload on the aforementioned web service.

The first thing you need to do after you launch this program on your Mac is to enter your GitHub credentials. Afterwards, you can start creating the branches for your current project (a branch is an environment where you can add new ideas), publish repositories, pull requests, and much more. Every GitHub user will immediately figure out how to get job done within this program as it's very intuitive and has simple-to-configure settings.

Furthermore, the app features an integrated search tool that helps you immediately locate the repositories you need. You can also track the project's history in its useful graphical interface.

After you finish creating branches, you can open a pull request to get feedback on your proposed alterations.

Hence, this program proves to be a smart addition to your collection of Mac apps if you're using your GitHub account regularly.
