I don't think I understand the purpose of using GitHub desktop versus cloud. Can you elaborate

githubteacher commented 8 years ago

@swong888 Great question! One of the major reasons people use GitHub Desktop is because it helps them work locally, on their own computer.

While it's true you can edit files on GitHub.com, many people prefer an IDE like Atom, Sublime, Eclipse...etc. 😄

Makes sense now. Thank you!
