Description

There’s a lot you can do on GitHub that doesn’t require a complex development environment – like sharing feedback on a design discussion, or reviewing a few lines of code. GitHub for iOS lets you move work forward wherever you are. Stay in touch with your team, triage issues, and even merge, right from the app. We’re making these tasks easy for you to perform, no matter where you work, with a beautifully native experience.

You can use GitHub for iOS to:

• Browse your latest notifications
• Read, react, and reply to Issues and Pull Requests
• Review and merge Pull Requests
• Organize Issues with labels, assignees, projects, and more
• Browse your files and code
• Discover new and trending repositories

- Easily blockquote text by tapping on the blockquote button in the Markdown bar when composing a comment or issue.

Bug fixes

- Fixed a crash that occurred when navigating files and long-pressing the back button.
- Fixed the UI becoming unresponsive on rare occasions after performing actions on comments.

We release a lot of new changes to the GitHub app every couple weeks. These updates happen automatically and in the background, so it's easy to miss out on new features.
We love nerding out over release notes for new and exciting features. It's like candy! Especially for software that ships often.

We're experimenting with in-app release notes that appear occasionally when new features ship in GitHub for iOS. We hope that this will be a fun way for developers everywhere to keep up with what's new and be the first to try out new features.

Can’t switch account

The app seems pretty nice thus far but I wrongfully logged into another account and now it seems that there is no way to change it. When I sign out and sign back in, I’m only prompted to give permission for the initial account (also, why is asking for authorization every sign in?). Doubt that this is how is intended probably a bug? Would reconsider review once I can properly use it with my account.

Update:
As expected the switch account was unintentional and now is back to normal. So far I had no problems and I love having a proper app layout rather than the mobile version (that wasn’t bad at all btw). You could argue that now you have yet another app to keep checking for notifications but hey.. it is what it is.

Sorry for the confusion! We're working on making this experience better. In the meantime, to login with another account, go to GitHub.com in Safari and logout. Then you should be able to login with another account in the app.

The possibilities are endless

I am a novice developer and a recent CS college grad. This feels like such a natural transition for GitHub as a whole. I don’t know if anything will ever beat the desktop/laptop experience, but using this on my iPhone X has been a pleasant experience. The app does not advertise or make any false promises. It does exactly what it says it wants to do (it would be pretty horrendous if it didn’t given the developer). Being able to keep up with notifications is what mobile is all about. I can only imagine how much better this is on an iPad, especially an iPad Pro.

Nice app, easy to use

I love being able to keep up with all my issues through my phone. The user interface is clean and it’s easy to search for repositories. However, there is a feature I would like implemented. I would like the ability to view releases in the app. It’s annoying when I go to a notification for a release and tap on it, only for it to send me to the website. And, if I click a link to the releases of a repository in my web browser, it opens the repository in the app but doesn’t show me the releases. Overall, great app, and if that one feature was added, I would be glad to give this review five stars.
