repository VS desktop

git clone https://github.com/user/repository.git

You can get the GitHub repository by going to your repo. The URL will be in the format "https://github.com/user/repository", you can get the user/repository from there.

Nonsense.

You have been able to clone over https since day 1 of Github and still can:

    git clone https://github.com/user/repository

Congrats on the launch! It's always exciting to see more competition in the version control space.

One question I have is whether you guys are better than:

https://desktop.github.com/

This seems to do the exact same thing, be free forever, and have a more mature GUI that is also easier to use than regular terminal git. In my firm, even with people who don't know how to code, they can use github desktop (since it babies you through the process of committing code.)

- Product designers for open-source hardware. Various design files, SVG etc.

I’ve experimented with a “GUI only” git flow - just to see what is possible, so I could introduce the concept to others.

I found GitHub desktop app (https://desktop.github.com/)did a great job of visually showing git flows and functions, but for a non-tech/programmming person, the tool would be daunting.

Curiosity what your suggested tech stack would be - sans Terminal…

just use github desktop its an open source tool https://desktop.github.com/

Download and install GitHub Desktop if you haven't already.
