That was a great blast through a typical workflow, really useful for deciding whether to use the Github desktop app, and whether its suitable for my artist friends, thanks!

Awesome video, no time wasting here! I've been learning Git in command line, and with GitHub desktop, and with Sourcetree. Hated Sourcetree, felt like i may as well not bother with a GUI at all... but then GitHub app saved the day. Seems silly not to utilise it.
