Around 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.
