Yes. GitHub Desktop is a free, open source application.

It’s an Electron-based app written in TypeScript and uses React. The source code is at desktop/desktop on GitHub, so you can fork it, contribute, or file issues.

Since you’re building terminal-first and interested in developer tooling, you could inspect the codebase or even fork and customize it for your workflow.
