Contributions summary:Nathan primarily focused on updating the GitHub Desktop application to reflect the rebranding of "GitHub Enterprise" to "GitHub Enterprise Server". They modified UI elements, including the sign-in, clone, and publish dialogs, as well as various references in code comments and documentation. These changes spanned both the user interface (React components) and the application's underlying logic and stores (TypeScript), demonstrating contributions across the full stack. Further adjustments to account models and stats references show a consistent effort to align the codebase with the rebranding.
