This package follows the Linux enabled fork releases here. Please do not flag it as OOD when the upstream Windows/OSX only Microsoft project updates but when the Linux enabled builds are available from @shiftkey. Thank you.

@TheRepoClub I don't think your OOD flag is valid, the Linux builds in the fork this works from run behind the official Windows/macOS builds. As of this writing I think it is current. Complain to GitHub about their terrible project management ... Electron apps without Linux build ability in this case, "releases" that force new builds even when you use specific version tags in the case of Super-Linter, etc.

I'm getting

/usr/bin/github-desktop: line 3: /opt/github-desktop/github-desktop: Is a directory

it looks like the path to the executable changed to

/opt/github-desktop/github-desktop/github-desktop

i had to edit the shell script at /usr/bin/github-desktop but this is only a temporary fix

I'm getting the following buuld error (using a clean build environment with aurutils):

}
error Command failed with exit code 1.

[EDIT] I figured it out. unzip is a build dependency. Could you please add it to makedepends? That should fix the issue and prevent an issue for other people who build in a clean env or don't have it installed.

Recommendation: install the binary version, github-desktop-bin.

Compiling this is painful.

For some reason doing as advised by @marlock87 did not work for me. I had to manually install nvm and configure it before installing github-desktop from AUR. These are the commands I had to run:

yay nvm # or whatever AUR helper you are using

source /usr/share/nvm/init-nvm.sh

nvm install --lts

nvm use --lts

yay github-desktop # or whatever AUR helper you are using

nvm deactivate

To add to @madis's comment: the new path of the binary is /opt/github-desktop/github-desktop. Currently launching via the .desktop file or the /usr/bin/github-desktop script is broken.

Note that the repo url has changed to github.com/desktop/desktop. shiftkey/desktop is now shiftkey's personal fork. [EDIT: my bad; shiftkey's fork is what provides linux support. Sorry]
