Working very good on Ubuntu Budgie. Thank you.

Works on Ubuntu 22.04. Thanks a lot.

It opens and authenticates, but doesn't show up my repositories

From logs it has:

I'm running Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, and I could only get the GUI to run after running github-desktop --disable-gpu-sandbox not sure if this will help anyone else

Thanks to @berkorbay for the script and to @coreysparks for the Tip, it help me in my case.

Thanks it work fine for me

Same, and this makes sense since I'm running jellyfish in a VM.

Has anyone figured out how to make this runnable from the favourites bar? I've gotten so far:

You have to find the .desktop file in /usr/share/applications and then copy it to ~/.local/share/applications and edit the Exec line to include --disable-gpu-sandbox but I can't figure out what to put in the Exec line to make it work, any advice appreciated!

@williamsando

Exec=github-desktop --disable-gpu-sandbox %U

Works fine for me.

Thanks @Menayer that's working for me!

Thanks! Work in Ubuntu 20.04

It works perfectly on Ubuntu 22.4 LTS!

Or, just wget https://github.com/shiftkey/desktop/releases/download/release-2.9.3-linux3/GitHubDesktop-linux-2.9.3-linux3.deb && sudo dpkg -i GitHubDesktop-linux-2.9.3-linux3.deb

Thank you so much this worked for me, on Ubuntu 22.04 after struggling for sometime

I guess that happens with those with discrete gpu, i have intel igpu with mesa drivers, so i had no issues with the gui

Thank You

Thanks, it works on Ubuntu 20.04

Thanks

I suggest updating the link to https://github.com/shiftkey/desktop/releases/tag/release-3.1.1-linux1 as this is the newest release.

Wait, I'm confused... why would we do this and not just use the available Flathub version? Is this version a better 3.1.1? Anyone know if the Flathub version requires you to disable gpu sandbox?

for kali linux or Debian os
sudo dpkg -i GitHubDesktop-linux-3.1.1-linux1.deb

if updated,
sudo dpkg -i <!--downloaded file name-->

Thank you! Worked like a charm. If you're having any trouble on Ubuntu, extract the folder somewhere (I extracted to /home/usr/Documents/ but I'm not sure if that's best practices), navigate to the .sh file, right click, hit Properties, toggle "Executable as program" to on, exit out out of the Properties window, right click the .sh file again and hit "Run as program".

Thanks

Hi, is Raspberry Pi (arm architecture) supported yet? I got the error:
Wrong architecture 'amd64' -- Run dpkg --add-architecture to add it and update afterwards
when executing
sudo gdebi GitHubDesktop-linux-3.1.1-linux1.deb.
Many thanks.

works perfectly fine on ubuntu 22.04 lts

sudo wget https://github.com/shiftkey/desktop/releases/download/release-3.1.1-linux1/GitHubDesktop-linux-3.1.1-linux1.deb
sudo dpkg -i GitHubDesktop-linux-3.1.1-linux1.deb

Worked on ubuntu 22.04 LTS.

launch with github-desktop

Somehow the GUI can only display changes and commit but cannot fetch/pull/push

I can do ssh command line based on ssh-agent etc. per Github ssh pages. And my github gui is login (and logout and login ok just in case). Not sure what is the problem. (Have run in another ubuntu and it is fine. There must be one more step I missed and it is not in here!)

Any help please.

`git -c credential.helper= fetch --progress --prune --recurse-submodules=on-demand origin` exited with an unexpected code: 128.
stderr:
git@github.com: Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

(The error was parsed as 2: Authentication failed. Some common reasons include:

- You are not logged in to your account: see File > Options.
- You may need to log out and log back in to refresh your token.
- You do not have permission to access this repository.
- The repository is archived on GitHub. Check the repository settings to confirm you are still permitted to push commits.
- If you use SSH authentication, check that your key is added to the ssh-agent and associated with your account.
- If you use SSH authentication, ensure the host key verification passes for your repository hosting service.
- If you used username / password authentication, you might need to use a Personal Access Token instead of your account password. Check the documentation of your repository hosting service.)

I finally resolve it by not doing any git or gh in command line (to avoid ssh) but sync via the GUI. And also move my organization as this GUI seem cannot sync other than the original user.

May be somehow there could be token access (not finding it in GUI) or somehow start the ssh agent before the GUI start. But I just use the shortcut to do my work.

Works on Ubuntu Thank you

the new version is not showing the GUI properly

Why sudo wget? We should be able to run wget in user mode.

Since no one said about using it with WSL2 and W11: - I'm using the latest github desktop 3.1.1
I made it work with:
1: installing x-server (did for another reasons, a lot tutorials over internet would help you to install it with no issue, I'm using VcXSrv on windows and terminator on wsl2)
2: go to /usr/share/applications and edit github-desktop.desktop to @Menayer 's answer (https://gist.github.com/berkorbay/6feda478a00b0432d13f1fc0a50467f1?permalink_comment_id=4335867#gistcomment-4335867) (Basically: Exec=github-desktop --disable-gpu-sandbox %U)
3: run it without sudo, so just github-desktop
4: it will ask to login, do it but don't expect it to move forward automatically, click at skip link in the github desktop, next screen should be your name/email from your account to confirm.
5: Start cloning and working

Edit:
It will also work with the WSLg, so you can skip step 1. It's also important to have a local wsl browser installed for the connection with the github to works

@digoo why are you using it on WSL instead of using it directly on Windows? Thanks for sharing

It works fine in Mint 21 Cinnamon 64bit.
Thank you.

Thanks @berkorbay , it helped me alot

I'm running Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, and I could only get the GUI to run after running github-desktop --disable-gpu-sandbox not sure if this will help anyone else

Thanks to @berkorbay for the script and to @coreysparks for the Tip, it help me in my case.

Same, and this makes sense since I'm running jellyfish in a VM.

This abruptly stopped working for me right after a system crash. I find now I need to disable all the sandboxes:

github-desktop --disable-gpu-sandbox --disable-sandbox

@digoo why are you using it on WSL instead of using it directly on Windows? Thanks for sharing

Because my repos are located inside the WSL2, and using github-desktop from windows directly it doesn't seems to be fully compatible yet. (aka takes really long to process anything)

thank you

Or, just wget https://github.com/shiftkey/desktop/releases/download/release-2.9.3-linux3/GitHubDesktop-linux-2.9.3-linux3.deb && sudo dpkg -i GitHubDesktop-linux-2.9.3-linux3.deb

Hello AndnixSH, please consider opening a GitHub issue, so we can further investigate the problem. Please include stuff like OS and some environments like the shell you are using. Also include how to reproduce the issue, did it happen after the download procedure or after you tried to install GitHub desktop?

I span up a Mint 21 cinnamon live system and it worked fine.

GitHub desktop installation script

Hello there 👋, I updated my script for GitHub desktop.
It has now the capability to:

• install
• update
• uninstall

GitHub desktop with ease. You find everything you need to know in the repository.
Here is the link to the repository --> https://github.com/kontr0x/github-desktop-install

If you are to lazy to follow some links through the internet. Here is the command you need to paste into your console to execute my script.

bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kontr0x/github-desktop-install/main/installGitHubDesktop.sh)"

Manual approach

If you don't want to use my script, you can download the latest package for your system with one of the following commands.

This manual approach no longer works with the updated naming of the GitHub desktop release packages!

Package	command
deb	curl -LOJ https://github.com$(grep -o -E "\/shiftkey\/desktop\/releases\/download\/release-[0-9.]*-linux1\/GitHubDesktop-linux-.*-linux1\.deb" <<< $(curl -sL $(grep -o -E "https:\/\/github.com\/shiftkey\/desktop\/releases\/expanded_assets\/release-[0-9.]*-linux1" <<< $(curl -sL https://github.com/shiftkey/desktop/releases/latest)))) --progress-bar
rpm	curl -LOJ https://github.com$(grep -o -E "\/shiftkey\/desktop\/releases\/download\/release-[0-9.]*-linux1\/GitHubDesktop-linux-.*-linux1\.rpm" <<< $(curl -sL $(grep -o -E "https:\/\/github.com\/shiftkey\/desktop\/releases\/expanded_assets\/release-[0-9.]*-linux1" <<< $(curl -sL https://github.com/shiftkey/desktop/releases/latest)))) --progress-bar

After the download, make sure to use your distro's package manager ( dpkg, apt or rpm ) to install the package.

e.g.

• sudo dpkg -i ./GitHubDesktop-linux-[...].deb
• sudo apt install ./GitHubDesktop-linux-[...].deb
• sudo rpm -i GitHubDesktop-linux-[...].rpm

Muchas gracias. He conseguido arreglarlo.

Thank you very much! Works fine on Debian 11

GitHub desktop installation script

Hello there 👋,
I want to promote a little script of mine that can install, update and uninstall the most recent GitHub desktop version with ease.

Boa noite!

Works like a charm, Thanks brother!

Here is the latest version:

sudo wget https://github.com/shiftkey/desktop/releases/download/release-3.3.3-linux1/GitHubDesktop-linux-amd64-3.3.3-linux1.deb
sudo apt install ./GitHubDesktop-linux-amd64-3.3.3-linux1.deb -y

Does anyone have issues login into Enterprise Git with this ?

Couple of questions, why not use apt install ./thing.deb?

And why not add the keys and package sources? Then you could just apt install from the package repo and stay up to date.

Does Github publish a signed hash or verifiable version of the package?

It doesn't quite sit right with me to not verify the files integrity with a public key or signed hash prior to install.

It worked!

There are much better, up to date install instructions for this package in the README.md for this project, shiftkey/desktop.

If you get the download instructions from there instead, you can add it to your apt sources with a GPG public key, so you can verify the install and update Github desktop using apt update and apt upgrade.

They also provide a .deb download in the releases as well (with hash to verify integrity), if that's more your style.

I have no idea why this outdated gist is the top result on Google, but the repo itself isn't...

Hola estimados, una ayuda por favor, recién deje windows 11 y me pase a linux mint cinamon ultima versión, y tengo un problema con github desktop para linux, tengo varios repositorios que mantener sincronizados y solo me funciono bien con los primeros 10 repositorios, los demás me pide una clave personal tocken, la cual ya la cree pero ni con eso ni con mi contraseña principal me funciona. En windows 11 GitHub Desktop me funcionaba bien. Será que tengo que hacer algún ajuste?

Envío captura de lo que me salta IMAGEN https://i.imgur.com/V3bgQhD.jpg

Alguna ayuda, o sugerencia. Por favor, su ayuda. Muchas gracias

I have no idea why this outdated gist is the top result on Google, but the repo itself isn't...

this is pretty standard for google these days, the most extreme example being the terraria fandom wiki which got unofficial ed many years ago yet still beats the official one.
even more unfortunate that github seems to not really support linux, finding 2fa things to satisfy it was also super jank since none of it's suggestions worked on my distro, which is just a flavor of ubuntu

Thank you!

It works ,thanks bro !

it works for me on ubuntu 18.04, thank you!

sudo curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/shiftkey/desktop/releases/latest | jq -r '.assets[] | select(.name | (endswith(".deb") and contains("amd64"))) | .browser_download_url' | xargs wget -O github-desktop.deb && sudo apt install ./github-desktop.deb -y

Hi,
GitHub Desktop for Linux now supports apt repository.

The installation script can be updated to the following one

$ wget -qO - https://apt.packages.shiftkey.dev/gpg.key | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/shiftkey-packages.gpg > /dev/null
$ sudo sh -c 'echo "deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/shiftkey-packages.gpg] https://apt.packages.shiftkey.dev/ubuntu/ any main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/shiftkey-packages.list'
$ sudo apt update && sudo apt install github-desktop

Source: https://github.com/shiftkey/desktop#debianubuntu

Thank you so much It works like an absolute charm!!!

NICE desktop app. Except it can only add stuff and that's it.

Danke from Tennessee. Im old and learning. Can you show the complete script to uninstall. I don't understand what to append -m uninstall to. I want to keep it but you never know. Also why does poster say it can only add, I see other commands...

Hello @goldboolean,

you can achieve this by supplying the argument at the end of the command, e.g.
bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kontr0x/github-desktop-install/main/installGitHubDesktop.sh)" "" --help

or in your case

bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kontr0x/github-desktop-install/main/installGitHubDesktop.sh)" "" -m uninstall

Many greetings to Tennessee

trying to install github-desktop in Ubuntu, using shiftkey, as described above.
I get: Could not connect to apt.packages.shiftkey.dev:80 (20.15.126.193), connection timed out

network is fine, shiftkey packages wget ok.

any suggestions?

Everything seems to work used this in WSL2 Ubuntu 20.04, but I do see this error message.

`Unknown or unsupported transport "disabled" for address "disabled:"

Thank you so much, It's working

So easy, so nice! Thank you :)

yo cool, I thank you for supporting the Linux side of Github since microsoft cant give it to us!

Team, I'm getting this error suddenly, I tried restarting my VM as well. Can anyone help please?

@Naren1997 This is not an official thread. I recommend to ask in the following official repo:

https://github.com/shiftkey/desktop

I suspect your HTTPS certificates are out of date. Did you update your system packages with e.g. apt upgrade or dnf update?
