I have been using the beta version of Github's Electron app for a while and hadn't suspected it might not be a native app. It feels very snappy and quick.
On my laptop, it uses less than 80MB of RAM
- zeugmasyllepsis 9y agoAround 80 MB of RAM with my project open in GitHub's Electron-based desktop app as well. For comparison, gitk is about 14 MB for the same project. Overall, GitHub's desktop app seems to have fairly stable memory use in my experience, though that stable mark seems relatively high compared to native counterparts. Not nearly as bad as some Electron apps, which seem to have no ceiling to their memory usage. Not a horrible price to pay, if you can accept the stable overhead.
- atonse 9y ago80 MB for the electron app? Sign me up. My preferred app (Tower) takes 150MB of memory. Update: I just installed it and while it does take 80 MB, there are two "Github Desktop Helper" processes that total another 100 MB.
