How do you configure Github Desktop to run from the command line in OSX?

Question

I used to be able to do this with the Github GUI app like so:

$ github .

which would open the current directory in the GUI, but need a new alias or such for "Github Desktop" which is the new GUI app as of Aug 12, 2015.

Answer 1

Within the application, choose Github Desktop->Preferences then click the "Advanced" cog/wheel. Then click the button called "Install Command Line Tools" (yes, I know it does not look like a button). Then cd into a git repo and type github. The trailing . is not necessary.
