GitHub Desktop removes obstacles to help you be more productive

GitHub Desktop 2.3 brings two permissions from GitHub.com to your local machine to prevent obstacles and frustration:

• If you’ve cloned a repository that you don’t have write access to, you can now create a fork from within GitHub Desktop.
• If you’re on a branch that you don’t have permission to push to, GitHub Desktop warns you ahead of time so you don’t accidentally commit to the wrong branch.
