pol-rivero

Pol-rivero is an independent developer who maintains GitHub Desktop Plus, a feature-rich fork of the official GitHub Desktop client that extends the original tool’s scope beyond GitHub repositories. By embedding native support for Bitbucket and GitLab, the software unifies distributed version-control workflows for teams and individuals who juggle projects across multiple hosting platforms. Typical use cases include simultaneous contribution to private GitLab instances, public Bitbucket repositories and enterprise GitHub organizations without switching applications or reconfiguring remotes. The interface retains the intuitive commit graph, branch comparison and drag-and-drop merging that newcomers expect, while adding advanced options such as custom merge drivers, signed-commit automation, cherry-pick queuing and shallow clone controls valued by experienced maintainers. Built-in issue linking, merge-request templates and repository grouping further streamline DevOps pipelines for web agencies, open-source collectives and lone developers who need a consistent, visual Git experience on Windows. Because the fork tracks upstream releases, users receive security patches and performance improvements alongside the extra integrations. GitHub Desktop Plus by pol-rivero is available for free on get.nero.com, delivered through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always installing the latest version and supporting batch installation alongside other applications.
