Github desktop sync spins indefinitely

Question

The syncing starts and says "Syncing" with the spinning loading wheel. It just goes on forever but never updates.

This is happening across all my repos, on every branch. It started after the update before last.

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the application. This only occurs on one workstation, my other workstation has the same version and syncs fine. Any ideas for fixing this issue?

I am having this issue in a single repository (the others work) and git sync did not fix the issue.

I removed the repository including deleting the repository folder and re-cloned it. This did not solve the issue either.

Sometimes I have to delete the portable git folder in app data, and let the gui re extract it. This does not akways work either. – M Y Jun 23 '16 at 11:14

Well I feel pretty dumb about this, but running git sync in the terminal fixed the GUI.
