The difference between GitHub Desktop and github.com is that Desktop:

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

GitHub Desktop is a standalone application that provides a graphical user interface (GUI) for interacting with GitHub repositories, as opposed to the command-line or web-based interfaces available on github.com.

Graphical User Interface:

Option D is correct because GitHub Desktop offers a GUI, making it easier for users to manage repositories, perform commits, and handle other Git-related tasks without needing to use the command line.

Incorrect Options:

Option A is partially correct in that GitHub Desktop is a standalone application, but the key difference is the GUI.

Option B is incorrect because GitHub Desktop does not specifically enable integration with office suite applications.

Option C is incorrect because GitHub Desktop is available on both Windows and macOS.

Option E is incorrect because GitHub Desktop is not a self-hosted version of GitHub; it is a client application for accessing GitHub repositories.

Haha, B) enabling Office integration? Now that would be a weird feature for a Git client. GitHub is more for code, not spreadsheets!

E) sounds kind of cool, a self-hosted GitHub. But that's not what the question is asking. Gotta focus on the differences here.

I always get confused between the web version and the desktop app. They should really streamline the branding and features.

D) is a pretty good answer too. The Desktop app definitely offers a more user-friendly GUI compared to the web interface.
