Feature Request: Show Deployment / Build Status After Push #46
Description
The feature request
It would be really helpful if GitHub Desktop could surface build or deployment status after pushing commits—especially for workflows that deploy automatically (e.g., Vercel, Netlify, GitHub Actions).
Right now, after pushing from GitHub Desktop, I have to switch to the browser to check whether the build succeeded or failed. Ideally, GitHub Desktop could:
Display the latest CI/build status associated with the pushed commit
Indicate success, failure, or in-progress state
Optionally link directly to the build logs (e.g., GitHub Actions, Vercel)
This would make GitHub Desktop a more complete “push → verify” workflow and reduce context switching when deploying frequently.
Proposed solution
For teams and individual developers using CI/CD platforms like GitHub Actions or Vercel, this visibility helps catch failures earlier, increases confidence in each push, and makes GitHub Desktop a more complete end-to-end tool—from writing code to verifying results. Ultimately, this feature would encourage faster feedback loops and improve the overall developer experience within GitHub Desktop.
