GitHub Sponsors Profile

I've set up this sponsorship so that others can assist with paying hosting costs for my fork of GitHub Desktop which provides packaging for various Linux distributions.
I'm not planning to make this my primary source of income, and any additional funds after those bills have been paid will be periodically forwarded to a charitable cause. If you have a suggested cause that would fit with this, please let me know!
Please note that although I work for GitHub, sponsoring me will not influence the features or work that I do at GitHub.

Current Sponsors: 6
