What is GitHub Desktop and how does it help vibe coders?

It's a GUI wrapper for Git, making version control visual and foolproof—perfect for reverting AI coding mishaps.

How do I set up GitHub Desktop for a new AI project?

File > New Repository, name/desc/local, initialize README and .gitignore, create—then start vibing and committing.

Absolutely—buttons over commands, visuals over syntax, safety nets everywhere. CLI's for pros; this is for creators.

Picture this: AI spits out perfect code from your wildest vibes. Then disaster strikes. GitHub Desktop swoops in as your personal time machine.
