Sometimes a conversation in an issue or a pull request can move off in a tangental direction. Now you can click Open new issue within the comment’s options menu to open a new issue which will include a reference to the original comment – helping you get the conversation back on track.
Dos dots, the two dot commit comparison
This creates the ability to do a direct “two dot” comparison between two commits. Now you can easily see the differences between two commits without comparing from their common merge base commit like a three dot comparison would.
The release of GitHub Desktop 1.4 includes two important improvements:
-
You’ll now know before you click “Merge” whether you’re going to encounter merge conflicts between the branches you’re merging.
-
You’ll also be able to see what’s new in each release inside the app without having to go to the GitHub Desktop website.
