**Tip:** You can add a Git repository from your local computer to GitHub Desktop by dragging the folder onto the {% data variables.product.prodname_desktop %} window. If you drag multiple Git folders into {% data variables.product.prodname_desktop %} at the same time, each folder will be added as a separate Git repository.
