Feb 22, 2016 · I'm using Github Desktop for Windows v2.1.0 and I can confirm the trash/recycling bin doesn't exist any more. I'm using Windows 10. In my case, the discarded change I wanted to undo was a deleted folder.
Apr 8, 2021 · My guess for why this happened to me: I just started running the desktop app as an admin to fix some permission-related errors that popped up immediately after installing. It could be that—while the app was having permission troubles—it was able to save my name and E-mail in the GUI, but couldn't apply them where they counted/were usable.
Jan 16, 2009 · In GitHub Desktop you can just right click the commit and revert it, which will create a new commit that undoes the changes.

Update:
but can't see the option any more since GitHub for Windows upgraded itself silently (and changed its name to GitHub Desktop on the way). I don't want to do it manually for each file one by one. I know I can use the git shell. I use the latest version of GitHub Desktop, viz. 3.0.1.1.
Apr 24, 2021 · Also, the shortcut to GitHub Desktop starts in a different directory altogether, so modifying that would be no use. I know that I can use the command line to git clone to any directory, but it would just be nice if one could configure the desktop version to do that as well.
Oct 14, 2015 · The git commands underlying the buttons in GitHub Desktop are not well-documented, so I investigated a while back.
