You can add more files by specifying each file type on a separate line. Scroll to the bottom of the document and paste the following additions, without overwriting the rest. Comments in the file are designated by a sign.

These are the areas where GitHub Desktop did well before the major update. For what it's worth, I downloaded the old GitHub Desktop application today, just now, and it works fine on my Mac running High Sierra Just going to throw my two cents in here seeing that lots of others already have: I keep trying to give the new client a chance, I really am, but I inevitably keep coming back to Classic for two main reasons: 1.
Automatic hard wrapping of commit messages hard wrapping is a must for me; without it git log looks like a mess , and 2. I could live without 2 but 1 is a dealbreaker. In general I've found with the new client that I end up just dropping to the command line most of the time without even opening the GUI. The older client I never had that issue -- it always felt like it complemented command-line git rather than trying to replace it and doing a poor job of that in the process.
Unless something changes in a big way, I'll probably just keep using Classic Desktop for as long as it continues to work. Works on Still prefers the older UI. Maybe I am missing some features that make the newer github app formidable to me. For me, i continue to use the old github desktop and the new github desktop because neither version supports multiple users. I'd like to see that feature added into the new github desktop so that i can ditch the old version.
Wow, installed the new client on a new computer. Really bad. Nothing about it is better. Why do companies continue to take existing and working products with already great UX and ruin them with "modernization" that doesn't help anything.
However, newer developers appear to believe they knew better. I don't think they did honestly. HelloKitty They have closed this issue and don't seem to listen here.
