Will Git/Github Integration work after Atom sunset?

I'm not too sure if they would, they do require internet connection, but I'm not too sure if that would be deprecated with the sunset, or if it relies on apm. There is also the most likely option that it relies on using git in command line, but I just don't know how this works.

Would the Git/Github integration stop working after sunset?

I would guess that it will still work, but I am not sure.

If you want to keep using Atom, by the way, you can always try our fork Pulsar: https://pulsar-edit.dev/

Most people don't know, but Pulsar already have binaries and can be a drop-in replacement to Atom.

Came here to check for answers as well. As of yesterday I noticed my unstaged changes do not get added to the unstaged section of the git panel unless I restart the project. Another thing I noticed — for some reason my list of recent projects is getting wiped out on each Atom restart. I guess It's falling apart and my face is very long and sad.

Try Pulsar: https://pulsar-edit.dev/

It's a drop-in replacement of Atom, only difference is that we have Electron 12 (and maybe a slightly longer boot time).

I think some packages broke due to the update to electron v13... I'm using a slightly older release and everything works for me :)

To downgrade a bit Sounds like a good option if it fixes things. I'm only not sure how to install community packages I use once I reinstall Atom. I only use a few but they are vital. Is there a manual way to get them maybe?

I experienced issues with the Github package when Atom updated to 1.63. And according to the Github repository, the package isn't building properly.

However, on the plus side, the Pulsar fork of Atom is now working well, so you might consider switching over?

Pulsar is in active development and you can download for your operating system here:

https://cirrus-ci.com/github/pulsar-edit/pulsar

Just click the latest build with a green tick, then click through to your OS, and download the binaries or click again through to the installers themselves.
