GitHub Desktop is a standalone application that provides a graphical user interface (GUI) for

interacting with GitHub repositories, as opposed to the command-line or web-based interfaces

available on github.com.

Graphical User Interface:

Option D is correct because GitHub Desktop offers a GUI, making it easier for users to manage

repositories, perform commits, and handle other Git-related tasks without needing to use the

command line.

Incorrect Options:

Option A is partially correct in that GitHub Desktop is a standalone application, but the key difference

is the GUI.

Option B is incorrect because GitHub Desktop does not specifically enable integration with office

suite applications.

Option C is incorrect because GitHub Desktop is available on both Windows and macOS.

Option E is incorrect because GitHub Desktop is not a self-hosted version of GitHub; it is a client

application for accessing GitHub repositories.
