Arch Linux User Repository

ATTN: The hard dependency on gnome-keyring has finally been relaxed. I have not tested this thoroughly; your mileage may vary.

For whom it may concern: this package depends on Shiftkey's linux support fork, located at https://github.com/shiftkey/desktop/

I check this regularly for releases. If you want the newest version, I suggest you check out github-desktop-git and modify the PKGBUILD to use the base repository, with the understanding that the application takes a significant amount of RAM to build.

Good evening, I'm having this message when I run the github-desktop terminal, I'm using wayland with Hyprland, before it worked on KDE plasma

[1] 3832 segmentation fault (core dumped) github-desktop

How can I solve the other options that give me an error during installation.

Same problem as paradox_arch. Is there anything we can do to get around this?

There seems to be a conflicting file issue with this and the visual-studio-code-bin aur package. any ideas or is this simply just a bug to be fixed?

As of today. Any ideas?

I write a wrapper script which adds the support of github-desktop-flags.conf like chromium.

Here is the script

#!/bin/bash

XDG_CONFIG_HOME=${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-~/.config}

# Allow users to override command-line options
if [[ -f "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/github-desktop-flags.conf" ]]; then
    mapfile -t GITHUB_DESKTOP_USER_FLAGS <<< "$(grep -v '^#' "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/github-desktop-flags.conf")"
    echo "User flags:" "${GITHUB_DESKTOP_USER_FLAGS[@]}"
fi

# Launch Github Desktop with the given flags
exec /opt/github-desktop/github-desktop "${GITHUB_DESKTOP_USER_FLAGS[@]}" "$@"

I hope this can be merged into this package.

I'm using KeepassXC instead of gnome-keyring, works like a charm! https://gist.github.com/GrabbenD/6658c36a1c7fc7ee30ee2498647ca4c6

ATTN: The 3.2.6 release has been skipped because there were no binary packages built for that release.

still need gnome-keyring. keypass cannot store my login password. using keepassxc: Error: The name org.freedesktop.secrets was not provided by any .service files

Why is it using unzip? in system there is unar which is much better (such as encoding support)

Could you add xxx-flag.conf support like chrome/edge/electron/code? This would e.g. make it easy to run GitHub Desktop on Wayland: --enable-features=WaylandWindowDecorations --ozone-platform=wayland
