 Electron enables hardware accelerated graphics by default, but some graphics cards have issues with hardware acceleration which means the application will launch successfully but it will be a white screen. If you are running GitHub Desktop within virtualization software like Parallels Desktop, hardware accelerated graphics may not be available.
 
 **Workaround:** if you set the `GITHUB_DESKTOP_DISABLE_HARDWARE_ACCELERATION` environment variable to any value and launch Desktop again it will disable hardware acceleration on launch, so the application is usable.

+### I cannot access repositories under my organization
+
+The GitHub Desktop application is an OAuth application, but this fork does not
+have the same permissions as the app does on Windows and macOS, which manifests
+in a couple of different ways:
+
+ - the "Clone a Repository" view does not show all organization repositories
+ - pushes to a repository owned by an organization may be rejected with a
+   generic error message
+
+The root cause of this is organizations by default will have "OAuth App access
+restrictions" enabled, which blocks the GitHub Desktop development app that is
+used by this fork.
+
+**Workaround:** ask your organization admin to [approve access](https://docs.github.com/en/organizations/restricting-access-to-your-organizations-data/approving-oauth-apps-for-your-organization)
+to the GitHub Desktop development app.
