GHManage 0.6.2

Released August 4, 2026. Downloads for this release

GHManage is a Windows desktop app for reading and managing your GitHub repositories from a fast, keyboard-driven list.

This is the first signed release. The app itself is unchanged from 0.6.1.

No more “unknown publisher”

Every release until now was unsigned, so Windows met you at the door with a SmartScreen warning: a blue box saying “Windows protected your PC” and an “unknown publisher” line, with the button that actually installs the app hidden behind More info. That was never a sign anything was wrong — it is what Windows says about any program whose author it cannot identify — but “unknown publisher” is a poor first impression, and telling people to click through a security warning is a bad habit to teach.

GHManage-win-Setup.exe and the app’s own binaries are now signed through Azure Trusted Signing. Windows can name the publisher, and the first-run warning goes away.

Two honest caveats:

• SmartScreen also weighs reputation, not just signature. A brand-new signing identity can still draw a milder warning until Microsoft has seen the certificate on enough installs. This gets better on its own; nothing to do.
• Signing does not reach backwards. 0.6.1 and earlier are still unsigned on the releases page. If you have one of those, updating to 0.6.2 is the fix.

Everything else

No functional changes. If you are coming from 0.6.0, the 0.6.1 notes cover the Actions menu, Ctrl+I / Ctrl+D, and the label-key fixes.
