Whether you’re new to Git or a seasoned user, GitHub Desktop simplifies your development workflow.
Are GitHub and GitHub Desktop the same?
Git is a popular version control system (VCS) originally authored by Linus Torvalds for development of the Linux kernel back in 2005.
GitHub is a platform where Git repositories can be hosted on the cloud/online (a Microsoft subsidiary since 2018), and GitHub Desktop is the official desktop client to interact with GitHub using an app and GUI instead of the command line or a web browser.
