Great news: GitHub Desktop already has a native Apple Silicon version available. The app has been confirmed running natively on Apple Silicon Macs at version 3.5.8 and later. You should update to the latest version (3.5.8 or newer) immediately — this will give you full native performance without any Rosetta 2 translation. Download the latest version from the official GitHub Desktop website or update through the built-in auto-update feature if you're already running the app.
