I find this to be even more convenient and fluid than having to open a separate plugin dialogue for doing my Git related stuff. Make some changes, save and use the GitHub Desktop Application to do all GitHub related stuff.īy the way, if you have two monitors, or a big one, you can just have the two applications open side by side, which emulates similar setups you can find in advanced IDEs (Eclipse, for example). As you can see in the referenced page, an added benefit to this approach is that the application provides a rich set of features, difficult to match by a plugin.Īfter creating the repository, just open the files you wish to edit with Notepad++.

Just login with your account, and then create a local repository for your project. You can use GitHub Desktop App to set you repository locally, make commits, pulls, pushes, etc.

This is a really old question, but I just bumped into it today and thought I'd share my strategy (second path asked for by the OP), as I can't seem to be able to find a convenient plugin for making Notepad++ and GitHub work together. There's also a TortoiseGit, if you're familiar with TortoiseSVN. If you're working on Windows, have you considered msysgit? Git is generally designed to be fairly independent of editor.
