I presume that what Sebb described isn't necessary on the GitHub
Desktop app as we haven't been seeing any 'noise' from you (read:
merge commits).

Note: my workflow is slightly different than Sebb's.  I make my
changes and commit them.  If my push fails, I do a pull and rebase
(with no parameters), and retry the push.  In the rare case that I
have uncommitted changes, I do the stash and apply (with apply being a
synonym for pop) dance that Sebb described.

I gather that Sebb uses Eclipse, and further gather that Eclipse is
mildly deficient in its Ruby support.  While I certainly have no
intention of going out of my way to make it more difficult to use
Eclipse, I'm also perfectly fine with leaving the changes that Sebb
has made to work around some of the Eclipse plugin implementation
(mostly which seem to revolve around the use of keywords as symbols).
