Versions:
Desktop Plus is a GitHub Desktop fork developed and published by Desktop Plus, designed to extend the standard Git client experience with advanced functionality and a range of improvements. The software falls into the developer tools and version control category, serving users who rely on graphical interfaces to manage Git repositories. Its current release is version 3.6.6-r0, and a total of nine versions have been published, reflecting an actively maintained lineage of releases. Described as an up-to-date fork of GitHub Desktop, Desktop Plus retains the familiar foundation of the original application while introducing additional capabilities that address common workflow limitations. Among its notable features are multiple account support, which allows users to operate across different identities and services without repeatedly signing in and out, and integration with third-party Git providers, broadening its usefulness beyond a single hosting platform. The application also includes commit search, enabling developers to quickly locate specific changes within a repository's history, as well as support for multiple stashes per branch, which offers greater flexibility when temporarily setting aside work in progress. These enhancements make Desktop Plus particularly relevant for developers, teams, and open-source contributors who manage several projects, collaborate across multiple Git hosting services, or require more granular control over their version control workflow than the base GitHub Desktop application provides. Typical use cases include managing personal and professional repositories under separate accounts, searching through extensive commit histories during code reviews or debugging, and juggling parallel work streams through multiple stashes on the same branch. By combining the accessibility of a graphical Git client with an expanded feature set, Desktop Plus positions itself as a practical choice for users seeking a more capable desktop Git solution built on a proven and widely recognized foundation.
