Just like our Mac client, you can now use GitHub for Windows to submit pull requests to GitHub or GitHub Enterprise, right from your desktop.

We didn’t forget forks, either! If you fork a repository and then want to contribute changes to the upstream repository, GitHub for Windows will keep track of upstream branches. This means less hassle when you’re ready to contribute your changes back.

Download GitHub for Windows and start sending pull requests now!
