"Clone in Mac' fails on GitHub. Takes me to download page every time


I've reinstalled, uninstalled, restarted but "Clone in Mac' on any repository page fails and takes me to the GitHub download page every time.

It was working fine earlier this week but today won't do anything useful.

Any idea why?


Solution

  • It appears not only do you have to log in to the website, you have to log in to the application once as well so it knows you've got it installed. Then refresh the git repo page and the links will automagically change from the download page to an open-application page.
