what do you find sluggish with this electron app?

I just tested it agains sourceTree, which is native, and I can't see any differences. It loads as fast, navigation and selection take the exact same time to load.

The only difference, github desktop eat 200mb instead of 60mb for sourcetree.

At the end of the day I will still use the command line, except for diff. But for a git gui, I can't really see what you mean by sluggish.

Sorry but sourcetree isn't exactly the best benchmark for native performance. Quite the contrary actually. It is the worst piece software i've ever used, just staging a file can take like 10 seconds. I've experienced this on multiple computers and i'm far from the only one with these problems: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=sourcetree+slow

Such a shame because it's one of the few GUI apps for git that actually looks good and has nice workflow.
