The "Clone in desktop" button gave it away as fake - I'm assuming it's a windows plugin for browsers or something, but I'd never seen that on github before.



Its seems to be a native Github feature visible for those browsing on a Windows device. The button simply links to https://windows.github.com/


It's there for Github for Mac users too.


No, that is a real button on the real GitHub. If you have it installed it opens the GitHub client and clones the repo


It is present for those using Github for Window/Mac whereby you can clone a repo by clicking that button.
