Is it possible to discard changes in several files at once using GitHub for Windows?
We can do it for a specific file:
or for all files:
But I can't find the option to discard changes in several selected files at once using GitHub for Windows.
As of now, GitHub does not allow this: it is not possible to discard changes in several files at once using GitHub for Windows.

Is it possible to configure the github desktop client to show only files that are in the repo, same as what gitk seems to do by default, or similar to running git status --untracked-files=no from the command line?
In some repository directories there are a ton of untracked files that I don't want to delete or add to .gitignore, I just want to 'hide' them when I'm diffing the important files. (I use github desktop only to review changes, not to push or create PRs.)
GitHub desktop is initially not designed to hide all untracked files in a working branch. Unfortunately there is neither a workaround for doing this. Here is the link that talks about adding this change as an update in its future releases.

I am new to developing Google Sheets scripts. I have code forked from krlaframboise/SmartThings and would like to make some additions and commit those to my Github fork. I can obviously edit in the sheet script editor and paste those back to my git repository but that doesn't seem ideal. What are some good patterns for developing Google Sheets scripts and tracking in Github?
Best solution I've found is GAS Github Assistant.
It's a Chrome Extension that integrates with the Apps Script IDE and allows you to pull/push code from/to your repos at the click of a button.
It not only supports Github but Bitbucket as well.
UPDATE 1/30/2018
Apps Script now has a command-line interface called clasp that offers similar functionality.
If your changes are data changes that should correspond to code changes then you should follow the pattern that good database administrators have use for years.
Make the updates with code as an upgrade script checked into source. You should also make a downgrade script that undoes the changes and check it in.
If making the changes programmatically is a headache, then make the two files simply contain instructions on how to make the data changes. Include an upgrade and downgrade instruction file with each major release.
I wrote a tool to pull and push google-apps-script code from/to from Google Drive. It avoids having to copy paste code.
Your use case would be as simple as this:
$ gas pull && git commit -m 'Some changes I made'
I'm using git as a VCS and I got several commits in a project. I'd like to upload every change made after a specific commit that is not the latest. Currently, if I want to do this, I have to upload practically every file in my project, or manually search for the modified files after a certain date. Both options are kinda tedious.
Is there an option that helps finding the modified files from a certain commit? Or possibly a combination of searching and selecting the files modified in a given range?
Use git log -n 1 --name-only <revision> to get files modified within a specific revision, or git diff --name-only <revision_1> <revision_2> for files that were changed between two particular revisions.
ALL,
I am managing multiple projects. All of them located on the GitHub and I'm using GitHub for Windows GUI and GitHub Shell.
Recently one of the projects got updated with the really big file name and so in order to keep the GitHub happy I had to move it from the standard place: c:\documents and settings\\My Documents\GitHub to just c:.
This created a disaster as I currently have two places to manage.
Is it possible to keep GitHub GUI happy and stop making new repository on the C:\? In other words, can I configure GitHub to use 2 source directories?
Thank you.
You can drag the root folder of a git repo (the one under c:\ in your case) from Windows Explorer onto the start screen in GitHub for Windows. Then it can see your repo and can manage it in your non-default location.
Not for a single repository.
You could move the entire repo to the C: drive.
Or you could manage 2 repositories, one in My Documents and the other on the C: drive.
I've repos with various configuration files, like .vimrc, _vimrc (for windows), or .bashrc. I'd like to create one repo that holds all of them, so I can easily set up my environment on clean machines. I'd like linux / windows specific files to be in different branches (?), so that cloning on linux would not download windows files.
How do I do that, assuming all existing repos are on github and the resulting repo should be on github too?
Is there a way to force git to just download files from a branch and save them in a directory, without creating a local repo? For .bashrc it'd be faster to just download and save to ~, instead of cloning and then copying that file to home dir.
Maybe something like dropbox would be better for this?
