+To setup the package repository, run these commands:
+
+```sh
+$ sudo rpm --import https://packagecloud.io/shiftkey/desktop/gpgkey
+$ sudo sh -c 'echo -e "[shiftkey]\nname=GitHub Desktop\nbaseurl=https://packagecloud.io/shiftkey/desktop/el/7/\$basearch\nenabled=1\ngpgcheck=0\nrepo_gpgcheck=1\ngpgkey=https://packagecloud.io/shiftkey/desktop/gpgkey" > /etc/zypp/repos.d/shiftkey-desktop.repo'
+```

+
+```sh
