+# Github Desktop
+Github uses git version control under the hood to interact with your Github repos.
+
+Unfortunately there is no official or good way to install and use it on Linux. You will either have to use it within a Windows VM, or check out the alternatives.
+
+# Alternatives
+There many git interfaces, probably the most common is just the `git` command-line tool, it's what I personally use and I find that using it is good for understand how git actually works.
+
+If you want a GUI, the programming assignment already uses [VS Code](VSCode.md), which has a built in "[Source Control](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/sourcecontrol/overview)" which lets you manage your repo locally a lot like github desktop does.
