@billygriffin Maybe you also want to remove/update lines 54-56 in this file? That section explains that you can also install Git via installing GitHub for macOS... (outdated term)

progit/progit2#1622 ## Context I'm the engineering manager for GitHub Desktop. We try to avoid confusion from people thinking that downloading Desktop is an easy way to also install Git. There's more context here about why we chose to avoid that for the current version: [desktop/desktop#3708 (comment)](desktop/desktop#3708 (comment))
