Handle ‘github-mac://openRepo’ and ‘sourcetree://cloneRepo’ urls with GitHub Desktop

As a GitHub Desktop user, you're probably no stranger to navigating through your repositories and branches. With the latest version of Fork, you can now easily open repositories and clone them using the 'github-mac://openRepo' and 'sourcetree://cloneRepo' URLs. This feature is available in the 'View' submenu, making it easy to access and manage your GitHub Desktop URLs.

In addition to this new feature, the latest version of Fork also introduces a setting that keeps remote branches away from the commit list, providing a cleaner look for your repository. When working in large teams with many remote branches, the commit list can become lengthy and unwieldy. This new setting allows you to hide remote branches and focus on your local work.

Another exciting feature in this release is the option to hide ignored files in the file list. In the past, you couldn't easily see the files listed in your repository that were being ignored by Git. Now, with this option enabled, you can quickly identify which files are being ignored and manage them accordingly.

The new version of Fork also introduces text highlights to git output in activity manager, making it easier to review your recent actions. The output from git commands used to be plain text with no visual cues, but now you'll see highlighted text for fetch, push, errors, and more, simplifying the process of reviewing your recent actions.

Furthermore, Fork 1.0.69 introduces new controls that allow you to customize the way diffs are displayed. You can ignore whitespaces, enable or disable word wrap, change text size, and show the entire file if needed. This feature is especially useful for those who need more control over their diff views.

In addition to these features, this release also includes full support for multiple windows. Instead of relying on tabs, you can now have multiple windows open simultaneously, allowing you to work on different projects or tasks without having to constantly switch between tabs. You can even open a new window with ⌘ N and close it with ⌘ W.

In conclusion, the latest version of Fork for macOS, 1.0.69, is packed with exciting features that enhance your GitHub Desktop experience. From handling 'github-mac://openRepo' and 'sourcetree://cloneRepo' URLs to hiding remote branches, ignoring files, and customizing diff views, this release is all about improving the way you work with your repositories.

So, what are you waiting for? Update to Fork 1.0.69 today and start enjoying these new features!
