Announcing GitHub Desktop 1.3
With the GitHub Desktop 1.3 release, you’ll be notified when your branch diverges from your repository’s default branch.

This release also enables you to more easily keep up with changes across your repositories. You’ll now be able to see which repositories have had recent activity, uncommitted changes, and unpushed changes without having to click into each one:
