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

Ratings and Reviews
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.
Developer Response ,
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.

Family Sharing
With Family Sharing set up, up to six family members can use this app.

Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
