Auto-watching updates

If you create a user-owned repository, you will now be automatically watching it for updates. Forks will no longer be automatically watched, even if you are granted push access.

Jump to definition is now available for a subset of public repositories—supported in Go, JavaScript, Python, Ruby, and TypeScript. Hovering over function and method calls will expose jump-to-definition links for all call sites in the blob content, within the same repository. We use the recently open-sourced semantic library to find definitions and call sites in your code.

The release of GitHub Desktop 2.0 includes four primary features:

  • Stashing: When you have uncommitted changes on a branch and attempt to switch branches, you can now choose to stash the changes on your current branch or bring the changes with you to the new branch.
  • Rebasing: You can now bring work from one branch to another via rebasing in addition to merging.
  • Organizing repositories in GitHub Desktop: Repositories are now grouped by owner, and for users with more than 6 repositories, your most recent repositories will be visible at the top of the list.
  • Pull request integration: Pull requests in GitHub Desktop are now near real-time with the pull requests on GitHub.com, and you can easily create a pull request from the suggested next step in Desktop.
