GitHub Beyond your Browser
summary
GitHub pushes functionality into your editor and desktop: GitHub Desktop launches PR URLs, clones and checks out PR branches, offers partial commits and built‑in devtools; Atom teletype provides peer‑to‑peer real‑time editing using CRDTs (it scales — one demo handled ~60 simultaneous editors) and lets collaborators follow each other; editor integrations surface PRs, inline comments and merge‑conflict UIs inside Visual Studio/Atom; all components (Atom, Electron, Desktop, Editor Tools) are open source and designed to reduce browser/CLI context switches.
