Installation 💾

You can download JitHub from the Microsoft Store or build it from source.

Microsoft Store

Get JitHub from the Microsoft Store and enjoy the best GitHub experience on Windows 😍.

Build from source

To build JitHub from source, you need Visual Studio 2019 with the following workloads:

  • Universal Windows Platform development 🖥️

JitHub is powered by the following NuGet packages:

  • Microsoft.UI.Xaml 🎨
  • Octokit 🐙
  • Markdig 📑
  • Html Agility Pack 🕸️
  • Skiasharp ✏️
  • Microsoft.Toolkit.Uwp ⚙️

Then, you need to create a file named appsettings.json in the JitHub project folder with the following content. Go to settings > Developer settings and create an OAuth app. Name it however you like, and in there you can get your clientID and secret. Copy them into the appsettings.json file. This file is gitignored, so please never commit it.

{
  "Credential": {
    "ClientId": "<your client ID>"
  }
}

Finally, set environment variable JithubAppSecret to your GitHub seret and JitHubClientId to your GitHub client ID.

Now you need to download the built vs code files. Run .\download-vscode.ps1 in PowerShell. This script will download the latest release of vs code from jithub-vs-code and unzip it to the JitHub/Assets/dist folder. No additional action needs to be performed.

After that, you can open the JitHub.sln file in Visual Studio and run the app.
