FluentHub

The stylish yet powerful GitHub client for Windows.

---

Installation

Via Microsoft Store

This is the preferred installation method. It allows you to always be on the latest version when we release new builds via automatic updates.

Via GitHub

Released builds can be manually downloaded from this repository's releases page.

Download the FluentHub_<versionNumber>.msixbundle file from the Assets section. In order to install the app, you can simply double-click on the .msixbundle file, and the app installer should automatically run. If that fails for any reason, you can try the following command with a PowerShell prompt:

# NOTE: If you are using PowerShell 7+, please run
#   Import-Module Appx -UseWindowsPowerShell
# before using Add-AppxPackage.

Add-AppxPackage FluentHub_<versionNumber>.msixbundle
