GitHub for Windows has introduced several enhancements to improve user experience, including a more compact list of changed files in the working directory and a feature that lets users see specific changes within files. The updated interface includes a branch selector that groups recently used branches for easy access and a dedicated toolbar section for branch creation, allowing users to choose the base branch for new branches. Additionally, the repository list can now be collapsed to save screen space, and the software automatically updates to the latest version if already installed. These updates aim to streamline workflow and enhance usability for GitHub users on Windows.
