About

Atom is a hackable text editor for the 21st century, built on Electron, and based on everything we love about our favorite editors. We designed it to be deeply customizable, but still approachable using the default configuration. A text editor is at the core of a developer’s toolbox, but it doesn't usually work alone. Work with Git and GitHub directly from Atom with the GitHub package. Create new branches, stage and commit, push and pull, resolve merge conflicts, view pull requests and more—all from within your editor. The GitHub package is already bundled with Atom, so you're ready to go! Atom works across operating systems. Use it on OS X, Windows, or Linux. Search for and install new packages or create your own right from Atom. Atom helps you write code faster with a smart and flexible autocomplete. Easily browse and open a single file, a whole project, or multiple projects in one window.

About

Focus on what matters instead of fighting with Git. Whether you're new to Git or a seasoned user, GitHub Desktop simplifies your development workflow. Quickly add co-authors to your commit. Great for pairing and excellent for sending a little love/credit to that special someone who helped fix that gnarly bug of yours. See the attribution on the history page, undo an accidental attribution, and see the co-authors on GitHub. See all open pull requests for your repositories and check them out as if they were a local branch, even if they're from upstream branches or forks. See which pull requests pass commit status checks, too! The new GitHub Desktop supports syntax highlighting when viewing diffs for a variety of different languages. Easily compare changed images. See the before and after, swipe or fade between the two, or look at just the changed parts. Open your favorite editor or shell from the app, or jump back to GitHub Desktop from your shell.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • - It has some unique features that allow developers to work and collaborate together. - It supports syntax highlighting and multiple numbers for programming languages through packages. - It has seamless integration with GitHub. - It can be customized easily by applying themes and plugins.
  • • Lightweight, which is a boon for small systems • Great GUI and interface, and allows you to customize it with external themes. • Can write code easily, and has auto-completion features, mostly for front-end development. • Integrates with Github which is helpful • It is open source, hence very customizable

Cons

  • - It does not have a proper comprehensive documentation for beginner developers to get started with the application. - There are occasional performance issues.
  • Atom takes some time to load initially, but otherwise I haven't had any problem with it.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • 1. It provides an easy to understand graphical user interface for all the GitHub operations. 2. The application is smooth and has fast responsive speed. 3. It allows performing tasks like committing code, creating branches or cloning a repository in just few clicks. 4. It keeps the user data saved in the local disk, so the user does not have to input credentials every time.
  • Nearly everything, the branch management is excellent to start with. It is very easy for new users on a team to be able to setup their own branch and easily maintain it by pulling from the designated master branch which helps immensely in version control. The ease of use of this tool for what it does is spectacular and beats all of its competition in my opinion for collaborative tools in a similar space. I have used this tool nearly daily for several years, I would not change it for any others that I have tried over that same time period.
  • - It provides an intuitive and easy to interface to perform all the git functions instead using codes on the command line. - It records and saves all the changes locally. - The user interface of the application is quite user-friendly and great for beginners starting with git. - It also lets the user make changes in the GitHub profile directly from the application.
  • 1. GitHub Desktop provides a graphical user interface for all the git operations. 2. It stores all the changes in the repositories locally and pushes it to the master branch on demand. 3. The application user interface is rich, and it feels robust to use. 4. It makes doing all the git operation easy for the beginners and removes the hassle of typing commands.
  • 1. GitHub Desktop provides a graphical user interface for pulling, pushing and committing repositories. 2. It works as an alternative for command line so that the users does not have to type type commands to do git operations. 3. The user interface of the application is simple and makes the user's interaction with their repositories on GitHub a seamless and easy task.

Cons

  • 1. It does not support integration with other than few applications. 2. Other than providing a graphical user interface for all the command line codes, it does not serve any other purpose or offers additional features.
  • The user interface can be a tad obtuse at times and has some minor performance issues. This said, it is a relatively minor issue and as long as the computer has decent resources it is not much of an issue.
  • - I did not find any cons in the application. It is easy to use, user-friendly and does what it claims.
  • 1. There is nothing that I dislike about the application, it is just flawless.
  • 1. It is a simple application made for a certain work to do, and it does those things pretty well. No cons whatsoever.
