GitHub for mobile โ The worldโs development platform, in your pocket
GitHub for mobile enables you to browse notifications, reply to issues, and even merge pull requests, and you can do all this wherever you like to work. The fully native app is available now on Android and iOS.

Is the app itself open source? What kind of functionality is in the beta (I have Android so can't try out the iOS version)? And most importantly, is there a dark mode? ๐

Thanks for sharing! We've been hard at work building this first version of GitHub to Android and iOS. I'm really excited to start sharing the app and getting your feedback. We're focusing the first version of the app heavily on collaboration with peers on Issues & Pull Requests, and on triage of notifications. Happy to answer any questions you might have!
@_ryannystrom I remember you brain storming and working on GitHawk in some pool while on vacation. This is incredible.
@imdaeshawn hahaha, deep cut! Inspired me to go find the first tweet mentioning it: https://twitter.com/_ryannystrom...
Started as a single list view in Bermuda on a short vaca.
@_ryannystrom Between IGListKit and GitHawk, you've made some really cool and impactful contributions to the dev community. Thanks for your work Ryan, it's been really cool watching your story.
I always opened github website on browser then left bunch of tabs opened,also tried way too many github clients app but some functions and ui overall are still lacking, so glad to see the official GitHub application project on both android and iOS , will be waiting for the beta launch and test them out (*โขฬแดโขฬ*)ู ฬฬ

@rrhoover yeah, I'm skeptical that this will take off... an iPad is basically a desktop these days so I don't really count that.
@rrhoover @chrismessina I think it will take off, especially as we are getting cheaper mobile devices and users in emerging economies are being more mobile.
@rrhoover @chrismessina @o_prime I think it'll take off too, not necessarily for the coding-aspect, but for open source maintainers. Being able to review pull requests and issues when you're aware from your computer is key.
This might seem minuscule, but will greatly improve the quality of life for everyone who maintains open source software. A lot of those maintainers feel like they're chained to their computer, as so many high profile clients rely on it working and fixes to be merged quickly.
I guess I got used to GitHub's mobile web UI but that's so amazing to be able to switch to a native app. Especially that I find it very useful to be able to access Pull Requests via mobile devices (both tablets and phones). ๐
The Software engineering team at Github consist of Great engineers and Designers... I wouldn't expect anything less from them. Although I haven't use the app, am sure people would love it!
wish we can code via the mobile app and itbwould be so great if it has a "Dark mode"
Finally, they are bringing it to Mobile. Praise the Gods! I can now wholeheartedly work on-the-go!
My screen time is going to skyrocket now from searching all sorts of random ideas ๐
Wondering how useful this will be on mobile. I still feel like Iโm most productive on my desktop.
