How do I sign out of the desktop version of GitHub?

Question

This seems like a very silly question but I can not find any way to log out of GitHub on the windows desktop application. Does anyone know how?

As it says here it seems like since version 1.0.39 you could log in and out by pressing Alt + L

Hope this helps.

It's Simple:

Just open Your GitHub Desktop App
Click on File
Select on option (the option Modern-Dialog Box will open where you can see your account and the Sign out Button)
Click on the Sign out Button.

You have successfully logged out from your GitHub Desktop app.
