I love using GitHub Desktop. Some may think it's basic, but it's that basic-ness which makes it appealing to fall back on when I'm too tired to rely on the terminal or more complicated interfaces.
Still, there are some annoyances I have with it. Particularly when it comes to moving folders around. I'm currently looking into PRing a feature where I can enter a query/regex for the repository instead of a local path. That way, when I move folders around, the repository connection is maintained in GitHub Desktop.

                        Update: I did some research and found that GitHub Desktop offers the ability to bulk add folders.
This means that I don't really need a way to quickly re-add missing repositories if I move my whole repos folder to a new storage disk, because I can just select all the folders and re-add them.
I closed the issue and decided to move on to other ideas.
