-# Radicle Desktop
+# radicle-desktop
 
-This desktop application lets you interact with [Radicle][rad], a peer-to-peer code collaboration and publishing stack.
+This repository has moved. radicle-desktop now lives in the `desktop/` folder
+of radicle-gui, together with radicle-explorer:
 
-## Installation
+    rad:z4V1sjrXqjvFdnCUbxPFqd5p4DtH5/commit/master?path=desktop/README.md
 
-See [radicle.dev/desktop#install](https://radicle.dev/desktop#install).
-
-### From source
-
-**Prerequisites:**
-
-- [Node.js][nod] (24 or higher) and [npm][npm]
-- [Rust][rus] toolchain (1.77 or higher)
-- [Tauri system dependencies][tau]
-
-On Windows, NPM's script shell must be set to a POSIX compatible shell such as
-[Git Bash][gfw]:
-
-```
-npm config set script-shell "C:\\Program Files\\git\\bin\\bash.exe"
-```
-
-Run the following commands to build the desktop app locally:
-
-```
-git clone https://seed.radicle.dev/z4D5UCArafTzTQpDZNQRuqswh3ury.git radicle-desktop
-cd radicle-desktop
-npm install
-npm run tauri build
-```
-
-Then run one of the builds that the script outputs at the end.
-
-## Development
-
-To start the app in development mode with hot reload:
-
-```
-npm run dev
-```
-
-To log how long every backend command takes, for performance work, set
-`VITE_LOG_INVOKE_TIMINGS=true`. Each call then prints `[invoke] <command> <ms>ms`
-to the browser console (visible at debug level):
-
-```
-VITE_LOG_INVOKE_TIMINGS=true npm run dev
-```
-
-A dev build uses its own identifier, so it runs next to an installed release,
-and it never registers itself as the handler for `rad:` links. On Linux and
-Windows, open a link in it by starting the dev binary a second time with the
-link as its argument, while `npm run dev` is running:
-
-```
-target/dev-without-assertions/radicle-desktop rad:z4D5UCArafTzTQpDZNQRuqswh3ury
-```
-
-On macOS links only reach app bundles. Quit the installed app, then build and
-open a debug bundle:
-
-```
-npm run tauri build -- --debug --bundles app
-```
-
-## Releasing
-
-Releases are driven by an interactive, phased script. Start one with:
-
-```
-scripts/release --phase prep --version X.Y.Z
-```
-
-Each phase does its mechanical work, then prints the manual tasks for its gate
-and the exact flag to resume with. List the phases and see the configuration
-with `scripts/release --list` and `scripts/release --help`.
