This tool is so versatile, sometimes after mass edits using VS Code, I still use GitHub Desktop for its superior diff analysis to make the commit.

A great tool for managing projects on the GitHub platform. The interface is simple and user-friendly, making it easy for even beginners to start working with repositories. I particularly appreciate the integration with Visual Studio Code, which significantly streamlines the process of writing and tracking changes in the code.
