Please summarise the issue in the title, and then use the template below to fill out the details so we can reproduce the issue on our end.

Description

I recently created a github repository called “Deep Learning” but it is not showing on the desktop app. The app is showing no repositories at all. Please rectify the problem. Regards

Version

What version of GitHub Desktop are you running? This is displayed under the About GitHub Desktop menu item. If you are running from source, include the commit by running git rev-parse HEAD from your local repository.

GitHub Desktop version: 0.6.1

The operating system you are running on may also help with reproducing the issue:

  • If you are on macOS, launch About This Mac and write down the OS version listed.
  • If you are on Windows, open Command Prompt and attach the output of this command*: cmd /c ver

OS version: 10.0.15063

Steps to Reproduce

  1. [First step]
  2. [Second step]
  3. [and so on]

If the issue involves a specific public repository, including the information about that repository will make it is easier to recreate the issue.

Logs

There may be some relevant information in log files generated by GitHub Desktop:

  • If you are on macOS, attach the most recent log file from: ~/Library/Application Support/GitHub Desktop/logs/*.desktop.production.log
  • If you are on Windows, attach the most recent log file from: %APPDATA%\\GitHub Desktop\\logs\\*.desktop.production.log

The log files are organized by date, so see if anything was generated for today’s date.

Additional Information

Any additional information, configuration or data that might be necessary to reproduce the issue.

If you are dealing with a performance issue or regression, attaching a Timeline profile of the task will help the developers understand the runtime behaviour of the application on your machine.

Hi @sauravokos, in order for a repository to show up in the app, you’ll need to clone it and add it to the app. See https://help.github.com/desktop-beta/guides/getting-started-with-github-desktop/ for more information.

I’ve locked this conversation since the original issue is resolved. We now list all repos you have access to in the Clone Dialog on the GitHub.com tab.
