How am I supposed to know where on the actual file system %APPDATA%\GitHub Desktop\logs\*.desktop.production.log l is??? putting into cmd prompt does not work. Do you actually have a windows 10 test machine there???

@DA-WARD there’s two ways to get an existing repository into the Desktop application:

• if the repository exists on disk, select File | Add Local Repository… and find the folder on disk. You can also drag-and-drop the folder onto the app to add it.
• if the repository doesn’t exist on disk, select File | Clone repository…, provide the URL to the repository and the folder to clone the repository to.

Let me know if that addresses the issue!

@shiftkey Is there any way to import them from the old GitHub Desktop App? I have over 20 GitHub cloned repos, and just as many local repos. They are all displayed in the older version. New version shows no repositories… So what happens if I try to clone over my current clone? Is it going to try to redownload it over the top? Do I try to manually re-add all the locals. That’s a lot of effort with possible unexpected results. Would be great if the new Desktop app be able to read the repos listed in the old app, or perhaps tell us how to copy whatever file the old one used into the new one.
