Open GitHub Desktop from CLI #3224

Describe the feature or problem you'd like to solve

Add a slash command to open GitHub Desktop in the current working directory

Proposed solution

Just like /ide opens an IDE workspace, /github (or some variation, like /desktop) opens GitHub Desktop in the current working directory. This is mostly just an alternative to ! github . with less silly output in the log (as each time it prints └ No Content).

I looked for issues mentioning GitHub Desktop, but none seemed related to this suggestion.

More generally, users could configure their Git GUI of choice.

Example prompts or workflows

/github
/desktop
/git
