Launch via command line for current working directory

Command line integration

I’d like to be able to launch the commit/changes UI for my current working directory from the command line.

E.g.,

C:\repos\my project> GitHubDesktop
# Launches GitHub Desktop to the Changes UI for me to commit my changes

My typical workflow is to do most git operations from the command line but launch a GUI for commits since GUIs are quicker for selecting specific files and lines for the commit.

I use GitExtensions right now which lets me launch gitex commit to quickly commit files in my working directory. I’d like to replace GitExtensions with GitHub Desktop in this same workflow.

Thanks! That’s mostly what I want. I do have a couple nitpicks based on a few minutes of testing that though:

1. github . from a sub-directory in my git clone opens a prompt to add a new local repository instead of detecting the local repository I’ve already added.
2. github (without the dot) should have the same behavior as github . IMO

Try github . 😃
