Github Mac Doesn't Update

See original GitHub issue

Github for Mac always tells me there is updates. Unfortunately they never install when I click on the banner. Here’s the error log output:

@dxdc, I tried removing ~/Library/Caches/com.github.GitHubClient.ShipIt and, so far, it seems to have fixed the issue. I will report back if the problem reoccurs. Thanks!

Hey @ckizer, sorry but just so that we’re clear, after opening it manually is it updated to the latest version or is still prompting you to update?
