Access Git repositories on the go. Clone, edit, commit and push while allowing other apps access to repositories.

Git is a important part of our work-life and iOS can take part in this. The ability to commit even when offline has added utility on a device that moves in and out of network coverage. Cloning repositories gets you a local copy on your iOS device with commits for all branches. You can browse the content from within the app and make changes. Other applications supporting the Files app, WebDAV or x-callback-url has access to these files. Changes made can be committed and the commits can in turn be pushed back to the remote.

The idea of doing significant programming on iOS might seem far fetched when you are used to a large screen, a physical keyboard and a full IDE. But just as it turned out that not every email is serious prose, then not everything that goes on in Git is significant programming. Sometimes you just want to update a TODO file or make adjustments to your Jekyll site. Sometimes you just need to add a file the designer sent after hours.

If you ever make reminders about small things to do with the code-base, then you should give Working Copy a try. You will spend less time moving stuff around and you will get much better commit messages when you write them for fixes that are still fresh in your mind. You won't be leaving your computer behind any time soon, but sometimes it is faster to just fix things with the device in your hand.

When you do need to perform real work on iOS, Working Copy is a powerful tool. Editor has syntax highlighting for more than 50 programming languages and a built-in color picker. Preview images, Markdown and HTML files with a Javascript console pointing to errors in your code. Create new branches and merge or rebase them back, with a brilliant merge-tool for handling conflicts. If you need to automate your work there are Working Copy actions in the Shortcuts app for most operations.

Even if you never edit a line of code on iOS, Working Copy is a great companion for reviewing and discussing code. Repositories are cross indexed and with powerful fuzzy search you can quickly jump from a symbol to the declaration or reverse from the declaration to all usages. A graph of your commits lets you zoom out for a overview of the commit tree or zoom in for specifics about each commit, with speed and beauty you won’t find in desktop Git applications. Review the changes your files have gone through with a diff viewer that is great for text and images. There is even hex-dump mode for that obscure occasion.

Working Copy is a free download but you need to unlock pro features such as the ability to push commits and manage more than 5 repositories. There is no venture capital, large company or ads funding development and your support through in-app purchase directly sustains development. Try out pro features with a 10 day free trial.

When you pay to unlock you get permanent access to all pro features at the time of purchase as well as any added the next year. When 12 months have passed you keep all existing pro features but any new ones introduced are locked until you renew your unlock.

Git client - Working Copy Positive Reviews

Take my money!Literally within the first 10 minutes of using this app I wanted to give this man my money. And I did. I was able to connect to my github account with ease and even create a PGP key in a few taps and I don’t even know what the heck a PGP key is except that it verifies my identity on github somehow when I push changes. I originally was looking for a markdown editor with source control capabilities and this app fits the bill. I was able to create some markdown and reference image files elsewhere in the repository and it all worked, and it even has a nifty markdown preview capability. I opened a second instance of the app side by side on my ipad and had one instance in editor mode and the other in preview mode, and although it’s not a live update, as soon as I tapped “Done” though the instance in preview mode reflected the changes immediately, which I more than I had hoped for from an app that wasn’t trying to be a markdown editor! I could still edit the markdown on the first instance too just by tapping on the text area again. EDIT: I just noticed that the markdown preview refreshed about every 5 seconds or so, so even though it’s still not a live update, the auto refresh updates the preview fast enough! Even if you don’t download the app just send the man your money anyways; he totally deserves it..Version: 4.9.5

Good but why have push pro only?I find it stupid that pushing is a pro only feature. Because of that this app becomes useless after the trial forcing me back to the even more useless git2go because I cant zip up a repository that I cloned on my phone and transferred to my laptop to make changes and commited on to push it on my phone as the laptop has no internet as the wifi driver in 1803 and the latest windows insiders keeps disconnecting me. This is why I got this app to replace that trash app but with push being pro it makes this one trash too. Sorry but if you want people want to be able to use it without them being forced to buy pro or people like me who cannot get a job because of my mental stability and so I do open source to pass time. Please take this into consideration. I love the fact of gpg signing too something git2go does not have. Although I would like it if I could press some rebase button on a commit that asks me if I want to squash it into the previous commit and possibly ones after it or fixup the previous one using only the currently opened one to basically amend the one before it. Other than that keep up the good work. :wink: Even I would like to help with making this app if it itself was also open source..Version: 3.6.1

Fantastic app by a fantastic developer that is definitely deserving of your supportI’ll preface by saying that I am not a developer, just a hobbyist. I really don’t use git a ton aside from cloning repositories for self hosted apps on my raspberry pi or digital ocean server etc. In fact, I use this developer’s other app, secure shellfish (also a fantastic app- best ssh client for iOS hands down), for all of that. That being said, I have a good understanding of how git works and an appreciation for well developed apps. This one is outstanding. Both of this developer’s apps continue to amaze me with their ability to seemingly push the limits of what’s possible with iOS. I don’t think any other apps integrate so seamlessly with the iOS files app and are as feature rich as secure shellfish and working copy. The UIs are also extremely visually pleasing. Although I can do everything (and more) that I need just from the free version, I felt compelled to pay for the pro features. As another reviewer said, give this guy your money. He definitely deserves it..Version: 5.3.0

What Can I Do For Everyone Else Always?I'm just a little burned out on the App Store shenanigans lately. I've lost count of the number of "Pro" upgrades of purchased which are now "free" and covered with ads. I'm tired of plunking down cash for expensive programs that, months later, switch to a subscription model, taking my cash and flushing it in the process. I'm tired of paying for apps, only to find them still filled with Ads. Maybe I'm just having a bad run, but the App Store truly feels like a scammer's bazaar these days. There are pick-pockets everywhere. I don't really lump the Working Copy folks into the group ... because they at least make a quality product and seem to put real effort into it. This is why I paid for a "permanent" Pro upgrade 14 months ago. And just paid $8 again for another "permanent" Pro upgrade. Like many other things, "permanent" doesn't mean what I thought it did. I'm sure it it's worth it, and I'm glad to support them, I just feel a little burned out and a little "over-used". I bought last Christmas and it just doesn't feel that long ago to get hit up again. I feel like I get rolled like a drunken sailor every time I log into the app store these days. I really like the app though. Nice work, guys..Version: 3.3.0

A diamond amidst the roughVery few apps that I’ve come across in Apple’s App Store, or any competitor’s equivilant library, warrant very much praise. Some are aesthetic but fall short of user friendliness, fail to meet expectations or simply throw a wrench into creative workflow rather than nurture it. Mainly, writing in python, I script and debug using Pythonista, (which is another shining gem I recommend to anyone looking for a strictly Py development environment.) and Working Copy is the only resource I turn to for version control. It’s so quick and intuitive to initialize a new repo, create and arrange your directories and start populating it with modules. The interoperability with other dev apps is second to none I’ve seen, and cloning repos from Git, Mercurial, and the like is reason enough alone to test drive Working Copy today. And, thank you to the developer for this extremely sharp, and highly complimentary toolset that I have used and I that will keep utilizing for a long time to come! 🤜🏼🤛🏻 **Any and all apologies for the lengthy testament**.Version: 5.9.7

The only le-git solution for iOSForgive the stupid pun. But seriously, it’s the only power app for dealing with repositories. It’s ABSOLUTELY worth the paid version if you spend any time editing or viewing repos (there are less functional apps trying to charge recurring subscription) Reasons this app is better than the others I’ve tried: - Ability to use preferred text editor (I use Textastic) - Works with Gitlab and other non-GitHub sources - Constant updates - Multiple remotes per repo - IOS files integration - Ability to upload a repo to an SSH server, run commands (scripts, linting, compiling, etc), then having the resulting changes synced to your device so you can review the changes before commit. It seems to only sync the diff which is impressive. That last feature is super useful. The only reason I can complain is because it took me so long to discover it. It’s kinda hard to find and you have to dig to find it on the iPhone. It’s a killer feature, it shouldn’t be so obscure..Version: 6.0.6

Completely blown awayI’ve been using the app for over a year. I just found the image difference view with split view cut view and color glow. Oh. My. God. You mean to tell me that from one place I can edit files, see history, globally search, visually compare changes (Even in images), and remotely push and PR to the Git server? WHY IS THIS ONLY $16 and $8 A YEAR after that?! this beats the SNOT out of stuff I’ve seen charged $50 and $100 a year on the desktop! If you’re on the fence about whether you should pay $16 because you see every other app going 99 cents or bust—think more in terms of how much time this elegantly designed app will save you. How much do you value your time? Will this app save you time? Do it. JUST. DO IT. DON’T LET YOUR DREAMS BE DREAMS.Version: 3.7.5

Very good user experience, some small improvementsThe User Manual is found under Settings which was not an obvious location, a "?" icon Somewhere obvious on the interface would be helpful to us beginners. I didn't find the magic on how to .zip repositories to have quick local access, so I tried the Share icon ... The concept of syncing with the iCloud Files needs some work, obviously, you'll put a .git directory there the first save, then the App gets concerned when it sees the .git directory there the next time that the Repository is "sync'd" or "saved" from the Share icon. Clearly, the intention is to utilize git push / pull but this seems to only be part of the process when ssh or an external Repo (via network) is involved. The editor is solid and I will check out the Pro features, but I expect those to make the purchase worth it..Version: 4.0.3

This app is crazy impressiveI don't recall how I came across this app. I guess I was kind of curious to see if there was some sort git client that handled pulling and pushing. As I think about it now, I don't think there are any other app that does pulling and pushing. So I downloaded the app to give it a shot. I will admit, I was a little sad to find that a there are paid pro features provided with the application. I have been a bit spoiled with some awesome free stuff when it comes to development. But then I started to explore the app a little bit. Then I tried out the 10 ten day pro trial. And I have to say, this app is crazy impressive. It just about handles the basic git commands very well, and it doesn't leave any of the basic ones out. On top of that, instead of being just a git client, there is also text editing and development included! I will admit this too. I have not yet purchased the pro, but I wouldn't be suprised if I finally did within the next few weeks. To have this crazy impressive application to be done by one developer is a job well done. feature request... rebasing? or did I miss that....Version: 4.2.1

Good but clone UI doesn’t scaleThis is a pretty great app with one limitation that is super annoying.. my github account is affiliated with an organization that has hundreds of repo’s. In the working copy UI this is really problematic as i have to scroll through pages and pages of stuff i’m not interested in to see my own repos. There is no way of flitering this list, or searching. And even more annoying is that the started repo’s which i care about most are right at the end of the list! This makes me think twice before using the app to clone a new project as I waste literally minutes hunting through solutions manually. Please fix this as it seriously limits the usefulness of an otherwise excellent app..Version: 3.4.3

Not a serious user but still reccomendIll be completely honest... most of the time i have no idea what im doing, but i love to play around with it. From the moment i downloaded this app, it was clear the developer is knowledgeable and dedicated to their app. The way i see it, if you enjoy a product and it does exactly what you need if not more, then you pay for it. So please dont complain that you have to pay for the full app, in most cases, when you dont pay...its called stealing. Thank Satan for ads funding most "free" services you most likely use. I speak only to the negative reviewers. If you like this app and know how to use it, i reccomend the paid version 100%, it will be worth it..Version: 4.5.5

Deliciously Good…Below are the reasons this is a great app for me. I'm often on the go and love the fact that I can just grab an iPad and still do real work. I've use this app for years, I'm hard to please. I don't know the developer, and I don't do this often. This app and developer are ★★★★★, no doubts. • Secure • Integrates we'll with iOS text editors and IDEs • Easy. When I was a noob I learned git with this app • A very stable and mature app which the developer continues to improve. Today the app, released 10 years ago, is at version 6+, and was last updated just four weeks ago. • Nice feature set (pro-subscriber, and I'd pay double for this one) • A share sheet action makes cloning an online repository trivial, even if the app is not open. •. Builf in diff, basic syntax highlighting, BYO OpenAI key, fully supports Shortcuts, WebDav server, handy folder sync option, for times when git is overkill, connect to Finder on your Mac… • This app and developer remind me of what I like about the Apple cult/culture and the ingenuity and hard work of its true indie developers..Version: 6.0.6

Most of what I need, very close to what I wantIt’s pretty amazing actually that it’s one of the better Git GUIs I’ve used and it’s an app on my phone. There’s truly something to be said for simplicity and how a phone screen challenges an application to be its best self to the benefit of users. I appreciate the details that contribute to a smooth experience: the the option to push on a commit, being able to easily Fast Forward, the amount of detail on commits, etc. Thanks to a helpful response by the developer, I found out where the word wrap toggle is and that there is a landscape mode (just happened to not work for me at first.) I discovered there’s even a minimap scrolling feature when tapping & holding the left side of the editor (seems like maybe it only works when line numbers are on?) It doesn’t replace a full-featured editor at this point, especially without real-time linting*, but it does make most basic development tasks entirely possible. *someone should create an API for that to support lightweight editors, preclude the need local updates potential restarts, etc..Version: 3.7.5

My absolute favorite Git client... on ANY platform.I had the relatively unique experience of coming to Git, mobile-first, via this very application on my iPhone 8 Plus, almost exactly 4 years ago. Thanks to GitHub's Education program, I've had access to unlimited repository creation since that first day, and it's honestly quite a testament to the power of Working Copy just how much of a mess I made in those initial few months. Now on my iPad Pro, I keep so many repos (89 as of this writing) that I have an automation that maintains a browsable index of the lot (which is, itself, a testament to Working Copy's incredibly comprehensive and solid Siri Shortcuts support.).Version: 6.0.0

Happy to pay for Pro versionI’ve never been happier to pay for a Pro version even when I don’t know that I’ll use the Pro features that much because I still work primarily on a full development PC (watch me end up using WorkingCopy Pro more than I think I will). As a developer, I appreciate “good” software. I’ve tried many other git clients for iOS/iPadOS and WorkingCopy is the one that has had the fullest feature set combined with the most stable/robust implementation. I’ve had no issues getting anything to work. I read that Anders, the Author, works on WorkingCopy as a side project so wanted to support this effort by buying Pro..Version: 5.6.8

My favorite GUI git clientWorking Copy is the only GUI git client, on any platform, that I like better than the command line git. I like the preview features, the reliability, the way it handles rebasing, the excellent responsiveness of the developer, and yes, I like the pricing model! I wish every app used this model. Retaining access to previously unlocked features means I never go backwards when a subscription expires, and I don't mind needing to pay to upgrade to the latest greatest thing. I recommend Working Copy for other geeks, especially those who use an iPad as a primary computing device, and anyone who needs to use a git repo as file storage..Version: 4.7.5

Great for managing git Repositories on the goThis app works exactly as you would expect it to. This app gives you all of your commit history, let’s you post on any branch of your choice, and let’s you gather repositories from any number of accounts you have. The one downside of this application is you have to pay 16$ dollars for it since the free version does not allow you to upload local changes to your remote branch which kind of defeats the entire purpose of the app. Overall I love this app and highly recommend it if you use git regularly especially if you need to make quick on the go changes to your remote branches..Version: 3.7.1

Second ratingHello. I am back. I like the way you can import projects from virtually anywhere and edit on your phone. But there’s bugs. I hate bugs. Do you like bugs? Ok. So. When your in the middle of editing something and copying from here and pasting into there. And then you go back one too many pages. And it hits you, when you can’t find the netbeans project folder. Because working copy deleted it. It hits you. That you just got fooled. Working copy isn’t what you thought it was going to be. No, not the application that seamlessly edits and commits with NO bugs. Not that one. Maybe in the next lifetime. Some app will do what it “claims to do” and everyone will be happy. If you read this till the end, good job..Version: 3.6.1

Great Support. Great App. Still requires TLS 1.2 for cloning...We had some troubles getting the app configured with our HTTPS-only GitLab instance. The "hosting provider" setup appeared to go ok and even passed the "Test" connection but any attempt to clone a repository resulted in an error: "Unexpected return value from ssl handshake: -9836". Some fiddling with our hardened nginx configuration revealed that forcing TLS 1.3 breaks Working Copy's cloning functions. Enabling TLSv1.2 solved the problem but is sub-optimal from a security standpoint. I messaged the developer this morning and received a response within hours. Amazing. Have raised our rating from 2stars to 4stars and upgraded to Pro straight away. Will hold onto that 5th star until TLSv1.3 works for cloning ;).Version: 5.1.3

The only app I volunteer to subscribe to!Andres is doing amazing work. This developer should be the model for all apps that want re-occurring revenue. The app is fantastic, constantly working better, and the pay the renewal for new features, but not until one comes out that you need. This is just the way it ought to be. Unlike my other now not so favorite apps. Take Drafts for iso who went to a $20/year, or $2/month price if you wanted to continue to use a dark there. Keep up the good work Andres. I’ve enjoyed/love your app, I and I bought the renewal anyway out of principle because it’s Developers like you that deserve the money!.Version: 3.9.9

Decent app, too expensiveAs a fellow app developer, I understand paying to support continued development. This is a pretty good app with a lot of features, but $16 is way too expensive. I was expecting $5, which I would have gladly paid. You’re in a low volume market and pricing yourself out of sales is a bad idea. I have been selling apps for quite some time and the typical economic paradigms are still at play - sales volume always makes up for margin. Not being able to access github issues, wiki, etc. is unfortunate. CodeHub is free and does that quite well, but I paid for it since the social aspect is so helpful. Every day I respond to issues with that app. Anyway, nice app, but I’ll go back to what I was previously using since $16 is rather off-putting..Version: 3.6.3

Essential Tool on the iPadThe iPad is an incredible device. It’s instant on, lightweight, decently powerful. It lacks some stuff for sure, but by adding Working Copy to my repertoire of apps it has replaced a laptop for me. Working Copy gives me amazing access to my various repos and does so elegantly. Historically, I am a Linux guy (Slackware particularly). I prefer Vim, git’s CLI, and a compiler. Yet, Working Copy is just so darned handy, I find that my workstation is rarely actually powered on. The ability to lounge in hammock, sip a coffee, get work done on the iPad with Working Copy, all while enjoying the fresh air... it’s just too hard to say no. Life is short. Enjoy more of it by freeing yourself from your computer. Use your iPad, and use Working Copy. If you’re sitting indoors at a desk every single day in 2019 when this alternative is available, you’re doing it wrong. If you’re wondering why it’s 4 instead of 5 stars, that’s primarily due to pricing structure. 15 USD each year for the feature set worries me as many apps become abandonware..Version: 3.9.9

Great workflowNot only can I work on projects from my phone or iPad, it is a real pleasure to do so. Integration with other software (Textastic, Drafts) just works, and commit/push/pull workflow is intuitive and nice. I can’t really do everything from mobile with this, but it isn’t really the app’s fault — sometimes I just need or want a REPL for trying stuff out and/or a more fully featured IDE to work in. But for quick changes and especially things like making edits to documentation or website content, it’s such a great workflow I almost prefer it to desktop. Highly recommended!.Version: 4.6.5

So useful!Using the iPad-native app iFontMaker to create fonts, I find Working Copy indispensable to creating truly open-source fonts. Without it, and without its commit, push and pull features, every file I work on would have to be transferred off the iPad to some other system simply to get it to Github — which, in reality, means most changes wouldn’t be recorded, collaboration with another designer would be implausible, and versioning would be impossible. I bought the upgrade immediately because Working Copy’s utility is so stark. Great tool for any workflow that incorporates an iPad. Five stars!.Version: 4.8.7

Wish all apps were of this quality!If all apps were of this quality, the App Store wouldn’t be such a cesspool. The developer clearly spent a lot of time on this app and it shows. The attention to detail is incredible. Very intuitive, great UI and UX, easy to navigate, and a ton of features even with the free app. I am just starting to learn Git and have been struggling with learning via GitHub. After spending some time in Working Copy, I’m finally picking it up. Definitely plan on purchasing Pro once I become a little more knowledgeable. Thanks for the amazing app!.Version: 4.7.2

Works very wellNice git client and basic editor along with highlighting for many languages. Would be nice to have at least some kind of intelisense, but understandably, it would be hard to do so with a mobile device. Would be nice to see something like an interactive rebase or at least better ways to rebase instead of a simple rebase so that a commit can be reworded, fixed up, or the order changed. Also maybe something like a diff screen for between branches so that it would be easier to see what has changed between the working branch and the upstream master or something..Version: 3.7.1

Working space ReviewAwesome app it accurately accumulates the depreciation of spaced and compressed item files. Application does lots of things we don’t have to breakdown and modify ourselves consuming timely matters. This application deserves a 500 to 1000 if the ratio of 1 to 100. Personally, as a Private Elite Vetern of America and France in which I serve, rate this application with 100 stars on the go, privately, it’s my opinion of creating things and saving things also if proper usage it is the means of unlimited device storage and memory for usage oft of the life of any device compatible.Version: 6.0.6

This GIT client is AWESOMESeriously this GIT client is amazing. I couldn’t get to all my repos and edit and update from my iPad, I could VPN into my network and remote into a remote server and make my changes from there, but that is such a hassle. I love having GIT functionality directly on my iPad/iPhone. Seriously I have started keeping all my notes in a repository of markdown because it’s so easy to edit and push my changes from my iPad, then anyone can have access to the repository (platform, os, tool independent) Thank you for this easy to use tool..Version: 5.6.8

Virtually PerfectPlenty of other reviews will better cover how great this app is. The ONLY issue I’ve had with it is one that I’m unsure if it’s a device hardware issue or something else, but it can be a bit slow at times. For example, a repo that’s over ~700mb, if pulling a branch that’s behind a few hundred commits, will take roughly 10-15 minutes to fetch and merge in. This is on a 12 Pro Max, both on 5G and gigabit wireless. My phone is NOT a development environment with the power of my MacBook, so I really can’t say this would retract from a 5 star..Version: 5.1.7

Has a bit of a learning curve but is very much worth itAs with anything related to Git, Working Copy does take some getting used to. However, once you get there it is absolute worth every penny. I use it on an almost daily basis and have nothing but good things to say about. You do need the pro version for things to be fully functional, so find some time where you think you will use those feature and sign up for the trial. I use Textastic to write in, and the two play well together..Version: 4.3.2

Impeccable, Inspiring, Rock solidThis app is way above and beyond anything I have seen developed. To put things into perspective, I’m not a git core expert, but I’m a professor in computer science. The reliability and integration is superb, the interface is powerful but keep peripheral things out of the way. The text editor is so good it actually beats more editor on an ipad, the list goes on and on. You learn from this app how to properly use git and an ipad. And most importantly, the developer is insanely thoughtful and caring. Had a problem once? gave me access to a more expensive version of the app that solved my pb. Had an issue with a pdf rendering? answered my email in 3h and solved the bug in the next issue (among ten other improvements) a few days later. If you have or want to use git, no hesitation before buying this pap. Every dollar invest in this app will pay for itself in a better way to work on your projects..Version: 3.1.7

Great app overall, but editor is lackingI paid for the Pro upgrade and this app is great when it comes to its Git integration and support. It’s easy to use and handles most of everything I’ve needed to do. However, the editor is quite plain and simple. Nothing wrong with that, but the basic ability to find AND REPLACE text is missing so editing can be quite onerous. Also, you must enable Shake to Undo on the iPhone to undo/ redo, there are no menu actions or buttons for this. Other than these drawbacks, I do not regret paying for this app, and I will update this review to be 5-stars if these features ever get implemented..Version: 3.7.1

Made iPad My Only PortableThis app has enabled me to live in a world where I can take only an iPad Pro with me and I use it constantly every single day. Well designed and intuitive. I may be in the minority but I am glad to see an annual payment arrangement because without a consistent source of revenue I can’t imagine this app sticking around and that would be very sad. If there is one thing I would add it would be more refined and detailed diffs...and of course a Mac app would be excellent. I hope Catalyst can help make that a reality..Version: 3.9.9

Glimmer of Hope for an iOS LifeYou know how CGP Grey and those guys that use exclusively iOS on principle, the principle being a future where it’s actually a valid OS for developers and designers and real actual people who use computers for work? This is an app that seriously makes me believe that might be possible. Not only does it let me check my repos on a train but also is trying real, real hard to be part of an ad-hoc ecosystem of good apps that do one thing well. Next up: iSH and hopefully something like Sublime Text for iOS..Version: 3.6.5

Best git client for iOS - great customer serviceI run a flat-file CMS with a git sync plugin that supports webhooks - meaning all I need to do is push commits to my repo from my phone/iPad and my site is automatically updated. This is the desired workflow for me, as I’m not always in front of a computer. This workflow works flawlessly. I did encounter a bug with creating directories via the app, and Anders replied to my support request in less than 12 hours and provided an interim fix until it’s pushed live. Top-notch support for a top-notch app!.Version: 3.1.0

Great appFinally an app that take the mystery out of GitHub. Starting a CS50 class where they describe the Unix commands to cloning and pushing and adding. This app allowed me to experiment with all those commands in a easy visual method. It still took several tries to understand the sequence of uploading a program, cloning it, committing and pushing it up to github. Visually to can see the process. Its a wonderful app. I read where someone complained it cost $8 more for the app. He probably paid that much for a Starbucks coffee. Thanks again..Version: 3.4.1

Amazing!!The work this developer has put into the app is palpable. What a masterpiece! The app works seamlessly with iOS, particularly with the file system, and is a pleasure to use. I quickly could tell how valuable it was and am happy to have bought the pro features. For others struggling with Obsidian syncing over iCloud, as I was, this single one-time purchase (paired with the obsidian git plugin) will fix that. Thanks for the great app and cheers to you!.Version: 5.8.4

A good choice for managing markdown notes on mobileI basically use it as my mobile end markdown notes manager. Syncing change via git repo, and storing my note in open markdown format is better, safer and more independent than other private note book solutions. Working copy is my choice after trying many other markdown editors. Most of other editors cannot even render local image in markdown note correctly, which makes working copy looks even better..Version: 3.9.6

Fab simple iPad copy of git projectsBeen a subscriber for years. The iPad does not host a serious programming dev environment but I feel reassured to carry with me a copy of important programming projects. The iPad however hosts good latex options. I use TexPad. My latex git projects are kept locally in sync via WorkingCopy. I point my latex editor to the git folder within WorkingCopy, giving me a way to open my iPad, like right now at a coffee shop, and work on my latex documents..Version: 5.3.7

The best Git client on iOSPlease look no further and support this app. You pay once up front and it gives you git and built in editor capabilities forever. It works great for working with repos in GitHub, your own server, or anywhere else. It’s easy to switch branches, merge, push, everything. Don’t fall for gimmicks and waste money on subscriptions. This app is like having all the git features of your terminal on iOS..Version: 6.0.6

Great personal wiki repoI use vimwiki for my note taking and keep it in a github repo. I've been looking for a way to view it (in markdown format) and edit it on my iPhone and this is the best option I've found by far. I hesitated at first to pay for the pro version just to push to the remote repo, but it's worth it for sure. Slight interface changes here and there can be improved (e.g. accessing the buttons for pull/push/fetch) but otherwise this is a great app..Version: 3.7.1

My personal review 🧙I have just paid the $20 for the lifetime pro subscription because the app’s developer personal photo was at the bottom of the page.🧙🏻‍♂️and I felt that was the best way too contribute too the cause? Also because of future publishing rights being that I am being a earlier adopter! Of this app! I can’t give it a 5 yet being that I haven’t set up Or utilize it yet! ( link to project) publish, etc! I also did it for for the my sanity!.Version: 5.6.8

Great and very complete git applicationThis is a great application for anyone who uses git and might benefit from being able to push from mobile. The text editor can also preview markdown very well, and you can do anything you would expect from any git GUI, like visualizing your branches, diffs etc. Even without the paid features (mainly pushing to remotes), this is a useful app to consult data that’s on git. All around a great joh by the developers..Version: 3.2.0

Awesome app, awesome developerAnders and I are almost best friends now - that’s how much I communicate with him over email! The app works flawlessly and whenever something is broken, Anders addresses it and fixes it right away and offers to test it out before it is released publicly. There isn’t anything else to say. Just that the app does everything it promises and does it well and the developer is one of the best ones I’ve worked with..Version: 3.7.5

Glad it existsReally glad the app exists. the app does things unexpectedly and doesn't behave how i think a git client should work. it unexpectedly stashes on a pull without any configuration options for defining that behavior, which has caused some heartache when my changes mysteriously disappeared. the stash options only exist when you tap and hold on the repository status, but not in any of the triple dot menus. the app is a very frustrating implementation of a gui git client. the icons aren't intuitive to me, but git has no defined visual representations for commands so it's hard to really complain about that. i honestly hate the app, i'm not a gui person, i just want git on my phone but there are no other good alternatives for ios that i have found. so im glad this app exists despite my frustrations..Version: 5.8.4

FantasticA powerful, easy to use git client for iPad. I’ve been a happy customer for years and the app just keeps getting better. Regular feature updates and the app stays current with the latest OS updates. Pro upgrade is definitely worth it! It’s a very reasonable price and I love the payment model: unlock sets of features each year. It’s a great way to handle payment..Version: 6.0.6

Almost perfectBeen playing with this all day and so far I love almost everything about it. Two features I’d love to see added: 1) [important] I’ve swiped and tapped and touched; I’ve googled and scoured the user guide; No matter where I go, I can’t find a way to use git’s “stash” feature. This is a really important feature when working between multiple branches and keeping commits well partitioned amongst your branches and separate from the HEAD branch. 2) [nice to have] I’d love to see an optional git command line interface. Frankly, this would allow advanced users to do really unlock the power of git without even needing to get through the learning curve of this app’s (admittedly well designed) GUI. If this were already in place, I wouldn’t even need to ask for feature (1) here. But all in all, a great app. Well worth the money..Version: 3.6.5

A Pillar to the Future of ProgrammingWorking Copy is not only a must-have app if you aim to move some or all of your development workflow to iOS/PadOS, it is proof that the world of programming as we know it is ready for a new wave of execution. Working Copy is THE git Client App that was really made to showcase what developers dream of when we dream of git workflows. It is intuitive in implementation, effortless in execution, and is a downright wizard of an app. This App is worth so much more than what it is priced at..Version: 4.0.0

Old issues have vanished!Now that I can access all my repos since updating to iOS 11, this app is flawless. Thank you!.Version: 3.1.0

Great valueI just bought pro for the second time to pick up a few extra features. The last time I paid for Working Copy was in 2019, and it’s been continually updated and maintained that whole time. This guy is the real deal: you buy the app and use it for as long as you want, and if he makes more features you like you can buy pro again to get them. It’s a sustainable business model that doesn’t make me worry if I’m using it enough to justify a subscription. As for the app itself, having functional git on my phone is just great. If there’s an emergency or I need to dip into a project to fix something, I know I can get it done because it’s not just a cut-down mobile experience..Version: 6.0.3

Best Git client for iOS, incredible supportWorking Copy is amazing. Devs need not worry anymore - it’s got the power! It supports Files in iOS, works with Textastic! About the only thing it doesn’t do is interactive rebase, but I’m like one of the 5 people that actually uses that..Version: 5.7.1

Amazing App - Very Reasonable PricingPros: #Flexibility: SHARE FUNCTION -Copy to... Share function -Open in... Share function -Accepts a lot of file types -Works in free mode IPAD MULTITASK MODE #Functionality FREE VERSION -Ability to use entire app to pull only -All files accessible by other apps easily -Great repo flow -Ability to automatically generate and register SSH keys for Bit/Git. -Great list-view of available repos from both bit/git. -Easily clone new repos PAID VERSION -Ability to pull/push/sync -Very reasonable pricing for upgrade -Easily create new remotes from git to bitbucket and vice-versa -Initialize repos -Add/modify commit messages. #Summary The closest thing to SourceTree for iOS. Doesn't try to be both a feed AND a git client, and does it damn well. My only request would be the ability to create folders of or the ability to rename the references. Great job..Version: 5.6.8

HhTy.Version: 6.2.7

Amazing, but can take up lots of spaceHi, this is an amazing piece of software. Congrats. I use it in my iPad to read code from OSS projects. It helps prevent the urge to go code or do something else than that. Two things I wished would be possible: 1. Shallow Clone Sometimes we only care about the last months of work. I'm keeping many projects that I follow and my storage is running thin. With git we can do --depth. Can working copy support this? 2. Bookmark 🔖 I flip between files and projects at their current revision. For example following vuex and vue (yeah, it's been a while now) I wish I could highlight a part of code and add a note, maybe link to another one done earlier. This could be a got repo sotting beside the repo, keeping track of the highlighted code, and maintain the bookmark as long as the highlighted code still there. Maybe I'm not seeing some complexity. Or just keep the bookmark when it changes, go to it at that state, and if we care still about that bookmark, we'd have to then find another place to anchor that comment or let it hang (losing notes might not be nice) Anyway. Keep it up!!.Version: 5.6.4

Woo!Love the Interface upgrade! If I can metaphorize IRL then I it’s easier for me to be an important part.Version: 5.6.2

Well designedGenius design. Scrolling is a bit weird and inconsistent when horizontal, but other than that it is easy to use..Version: 5.6.1

The iOS app I dreamed of exists!WorkingCopy is a dream. It’s a perfect marriage of git’s idiomatic workflows with iOS’s idiomatic workflows, and does everything I could wish for..Version: 5.6.1

Love developers like thisWorking copy is beautiful, effective and an example of what app development should be. The design is intuitive, functional, so well thought out. Favorite app on my phone..Version: 5.6.1

Full-featured and reliableNot many apps I have downloaded are as richly featured and dependable as this one. The passion of the developer really shines through. Thanks so much for Working Copy..Version: 5.3.6

UpdateCan you update it for current version of iOS.Version: 5.3.6

TremendousThis app is amazing. Wonderful features, everything I’d want from a git client in iOS. Worth every penny..Version: 5.1.1

😀It really works!!! 😇.Version: 5.0.9

Absolutely FantasticI can’t get over how fantastic this App is. I’ve been looking to move more and more of my development tasks to my iPad as I’m on the road a lot. Working Copy was the missing puzzle piece in my workflow, and with super-easy integration with Textstatic it’s a home run for basic dev. For now my iPad will not be replacing my MacBook Pro dev environment, but if you need to checkout something quick and make some fixes on the run, it’s indispensable. A great piece of software is always worth paying for, and Working Copy is not exception..Version: 5.0.3

BrilliantThis app is exactly what I was looking for. I don’t like git, I really don’t, but this makes it tolerable to use when I don’t have a computer handy. Well worth the cost!.Version: 5.0.0

HelpPlease help.Version: 4.9.9

Amazing!The native iOS file system integration makes storing your files in git trivial for consumption by other iOS apps. This has been a dependable part of my iOS workflow for years..Version: 4.9.4

Beautiful appI can’t wait to buy this after my trial ends. Well done this app is superb!.Version: 4.7.6

Insanely GREATAMAZING I love it! I don’t think I’m going back to a laptop or desktop anymore..Version: 4.3.0

AmazingI love this app. Seriously.Version: 4.4.7

Perfect GitHub iOS AppTruly the best implementation to commit edits on the fly with an iPhone. By a dev for a dev. Awesome!.Version: 4.4.6

GoodBest.Version: 4.4.0

Worth itAbsolutely worth the cost of the license for me.Version: 4.4.0

Just AmazingAlways works perfectly. Very intuitive interface even on a small screen. Outstanding features even in the free version..Version: 4.3.2

Convenient app, responsive developerAs much as I try, I can’t do any real work on my ipad, but this app makes it so easy to perform any last-minute changes or little corrections to my git repo while I’m on the go. It’s dead simple to use, and setting up a SSH connection to my git repo was a breeze. The editor provides syntax highlighting for several languages, but there’s no autocomplete. I’m not a power mobile user by any means, but this app has found a special place in my programming toolbelt. On a separate note, if you noticed background activity in your battery settings, the developer has explained that this has something to do with a location logic in the Files app, and this app isn’t actually consuming any additional power. You can check this by tapping on the Working Copy icon in battery consumption, and it will show “-“, which means it’s using less than 1%. I really like that this app is actively maintained and that the developer is very responsive to feedback. I think the ratings speak for itself!.Version: 4.3.0

Really Great!Gladly paid for the pro version of this app, it was exactly what i was looking for on a mobile platform..Version: 4.2.9

One less reason to need a laptopWhen this covid thing started and I had to work from home, I'd be lying around the house with an iPad and coding in Textastic. Then I'd sync over to another machine and run my commits from the command line. It was tedious, but then I learned about Working Copy and oh man! It's a first rate git client. Works fine with the usual suspects like github as well as private servers over ssh/https/whatever. Within the iPad world, it talks to just about anything like text editors, Pythonista, etc. In a pinch, the built-in editor is not too shabby either! And it's just so beautiful and slick! Makes you wanna code....Version: 4.2.5

Its amayzingI love everything on that app thanks to the howner.Version: 4.2.4

Solid, fast, well maintainedNo trouble connecting to my self-hosted Gitea instance (and Github, Bitbucket before that). Integrates well with text editors. I’ve even made emergency changes while standing in an airport security line. Indie dev software at its best..Version: 4.1.7

Brings repo to mobileI just worked on documentation from the mobile and committed my work which is really appreciated (mobile capabilities, you know I code on my desk by waiting on the bus and formatting documentation, commit it, that's winner ;) ) Guillaume..Version: 4.1.6

Totally awesomeThis is where I want to work. And will eventually more here from Windows and Mac. This guy is an incredible programmer, it shows in the quality of this app. This is the future, being able to maintain code from mobile..Version: 4.0.8

A vital tool for remote supportBeing able to pull up repos and make quick changes when you’re on the road makes me very useful at work. Working Copy let’s me update in the field and it’s well worth the price..Version: 4.0.7

Works Like a CharmVery happy with this app. I use repos every day for work and having a solution that works well on my iPad is simply massive. Great work Devs!.Version: 4.0.7

Any Black Friday deals available ?Wouldn’t it be nice to have a thanksgiving discount?.Version: 3.9.8

Everything you’d need for an iOS Git clientFrom design to implementation, this is a fantastic app..Version: 3.9.7

Great for collaboration!Seriously productivity brought to iPad and iPhone.Version: 3.9.2

PerfectExcellent markdown editing. I can now edit my GitHub pages site directly from my phone. Great UX. Love this app..Version: 3.7.8

A COMPLETE mobile source control clientThe developer behind this app clearly put in countless hours to create a COMPLETE source control mobile client that has all of the power of a desktop client (repo storage, custom graph viewer, commits, reverts, authentication methods (both ssh and https), remotes setup, cookies, repo creation (with file system if not emulated), repo cloning and cloud syncing.Version: 3.7.5

Seems to work pretty flawlesslyI wish there was a built in "add all, commit all, pull, push" button, but I guess I can make that in Shortcuts..Version: 3.6.8

A highly useful app for troubleshooting and reviewing code.Special thanks to the developer for adding syntax highlighting for vhdl upon request..Version: 3.6.4

Amazing.The best git client I’ve used. Desktop included..Version: 3.5.8

Must haveLove the markdown preview mode, perfect on iPad..Version: 3.5.5

Glory glory hallelujahOur prayers have been answered and there’s a working beautiful git client for iOS now. 👏👏.Version: 3.5.0

An App of incredible qualityThere is no fancy UI only pure thoughtful UX.Version: 3.3.9

Go ahead and buy this appIf you need a git client for iOS, this is your app. It is great, they keep adding features and fixing bugs. I could write a lot about its integrations, ease of use, power options, but you can just take a look yourself. If you are a serious git user, this is the best app you can get on iOS. I’ve used it with GitHub and AWS CodeCommit repositories without a hitch..Version: 3.3.6

Good, but needs work[To the developer: I appreciate the thoughtful response, and I will certainly check out each update (if you’ll forgive a bad git joke).] This comes so close to being a great way to work on my iPad. ✅ Supports GitHub Enterprise. ✅ iCloud document provider (lets me work in Textastic; the built-in editor doesn’t cut it). ✅ Nice history graph. ✅ Excellent search (aka git grep). Unfortunately… ❌ No flat view of all changed files in one place. You have to manually navigate your entire folder hierarchy to each file. ❌ No staging & no stashes means I can’t change anything I don’t want in my next commit. I’m so used to having this freedom that I can never go back to being forced to work on only one thing at a time. It’s not feasible for me to commit three unrelated changes in the same branch because that’s not how professional developers work. Essentially, it takes too many steps to review changes, and there’s no way to manage which ones get committed. This app seems to get a lot of praise from writers (whose needs are so simplistic they could honestly just use Dropbox), but not a lot of developers (who actually know and use most of the features of git and GitHub). It just needs to handle a few key things better to become a truly viable way to work when I’m away from my Mac. Right now it’s got just barely enough to make it possible, but not what I’d call a great experience..Version: 3.3.7
