Viewing and re-running checks in GitHub Desktop

About checks in GitHub Desktop

GitHub Desktop displays the status of checks that have run in your pull request branches. The checks badge next to the branch name will display the pending, passing, or failing state of the checks. You can also re-run all, failed, or individual checks when viewing the status of the checks in GitHub Desktop. For more information on setting up checks in your repository, see " About status checks ."

GitHub Desktop will also show a system notification when checks fail. For more information on enabling notifications, see " Configuring notifications in GitHub Desktop ."
