Upstream: GitHub Desktop 3.5.6-beta1 release notes

Changes and improvements:

  • Experimental support for adding multiple accounts for the same provider (for example, GitHub.com). For a long time, this has been one of the most requested features, both in this fork and in the official GitHub Desktop app.
    Thank you @ghedwards for your huge contribution!

  • Added support for git worktrees. To enable it, go to "File" > "Options" > "Appearance" and enable "Show worktrees dropdown in toolbar".
    Thank you @devxoul for implementing it!

Note

After updating, you may be asked to sign in again with all your accounts.

Important

If you have multiple accounts for one provider, the recommended way of cloning repositories is from whithin the app ("Add" > "Clone repository").

If you manually add a repository of which you are not the owner (and the correct account is not the first one from the list) you may need to manually set the account by going to "Repository" > "Repository settings" > "Remote" and picking the correct account.

Both of these features are quite large and have several moving parts, so I expect we will find several errors. If you want a stable release, you may want to skip this one.

Make sure to thank @ghedwards and @devxoul for both of their fantastic contributions.
