Github For Windows, So Good It Crashes Multiple Times Daily

General · May 23, 2012

When I first of Github for Windows being announced I exclaimed, “Well it’s about time someone released a nice looking Windows application for interfacing with Git” after installing it and encountering a couple of crashes (I can live with that, I was still smitten) I merely restarted Github but then once the crashes kept happening I went looking for a way to log a issue somewhere and surprisingly couldn’t find anything.

I would have thought an application built by Github would have some kind of repository somewhere where I can log an error ticket, I really want to use Github for Windows but the constant crashes make it almost impossible.

I see the below message constantly:

Unless I am just blind (and there is a good chance I am), perhaps someone over at Github can contact me and I can run a profiler or something to help get these bugs squashed, I would love to help, I want to see this application being a part of my everyday workflow. The fact I’m using a 64bit copy of Windows 7 might have something to do with it, or there is a good chance it’s a general issue everyone is having on Windows.

I have the same problem on Windows 8.1-it simply won’t stay open long enough to be useful….

Great to stumble upon a 2 year-old post with the same issue. As soon as a press one thing in this terrible program it crashes. At least I know what I won’t be using for repositories.

I sympathize with people who are forced to use GitHub

The Github for Windows app is absolute junk. Sourcetree is where it is at everyone. Download that and you’ll be much happier!
