Really nice app!

Everything works fine and it is really well designed! Good job GitHub! One thing: Can you add options to manage/delete your repositories? Thank you!

Missing ability to create new branches

As per the title, overall a fantastic app, but it really needs the ability to create new branches. Please keep developing the app, itโ€™s great and has the potential to be even better.

Remove annoying copilot button

Why does there need to be a floating button on every page in the app just to sell me on a feature I don't want and won't pay for.

It's insulting that you didn't add a "no thanks" button that dismisses it.

A guy

The app said even beginner could go this app itโ€™s great but the information is a lot there has to be point by point explanation for us dummies who are interested

less functionality than browser

I cant rename files on my iphone se or even delete files then i try and go in the browser and everything is tiny and difficult to do the most simple things like they are trying to hide the basic features and the complex stuff is right at the top it makes no sense design needs work it needs functuonality to come first and simplicity then the more complex stuff is deeper into the process not the other way around i need to have the option to rename and delete a file if the whole point is a repo app let me do the basic stuff atleast jeez

Great app with terrible side-effects

The app is great, but the security side-effect is a series of disasters. First, once you start using the app it configures itself as the primary MFA method without your knowledge. If you uninstall the app, you need to reinstall and log off, otherwise GitHub keeps the app as a MFA method. If you keep it, you cannot disable the app as a MFA. And the app has no security lock (password or Face ID), so it is a permanent risk to you GitHub account.

Needs support for video uploaded to Github

The videos uploaded to Github wonโ€™t display properly in README for this app, this feature has been around since 2021 (so itโ€™s not even remotely new).

The 10x mobile dev experience

The Github app has been critical for approving PRs on the go, checking on code or searching for projects when an idea comes to head.

Absolutely love this app.

Canโ€™t sign in

How tf am i supposed to use this app if i canโ€™t sign in

Kind of Quirky

The app is kind of quirky and requires some getting used to the interface, but it does the trick when Iโ€™m on the road and dealing with issues from my iPad. Itโ€™s a nice stop-gap until I can get back to my desk and log into GitHub proper.

## Benefits

* Brings all notifications and active discussions to the fore.
* Donโ€™t need all the mandatory 2FA nonsense to access my repositories for communicating issues and responses, like I would if I just logged into the browser.
* Quick access to all my repositories and projects to check status.

## No Markdown Preview

Thereโ€™s no Markdown preview like on the web interface, so you have to wait until you post an issue or discussion to see if you got it all right.

All-in-all a tight little app that I use when Iโ€™m traveling and trying to stay in touch with my development communities.
