Problem: nothing provides libcurl needed by github-desktop-2.5.3.linux1-1.x86_64
 Solution 1: do not install github-desktop-2.5.3.linux1-1.x86_64
 Solution 2: break github-desktop-2.5.3.linux1-1.x86_64 by ignoring some of its dependencies

Choose from above solutions by number or cancel [1/2/c/d/?] (c): 2

Application installs, and seems to run. The likely issue is that openSUSE 15.2 provides "libcurl4", not "libcurl":
