## What is Clone?

Clone brings the power of Git version control to iOS. With beautiful visualizations, an advanced code editor, intuitive Git workflows, and powerful integrations, Clone takes Git productivity mobile.

Features

- Top-notch visualization

A graph is worth a thousand SHAs. Clone shows commit history beautifully and quickly, so you can see what that merge commit actually merges. See what changed in amy commit with diff views. For individual files a heat map (blame) shows the who, what and when for each part of the file when you're asking why.

- Designed for iPhone and iPad

On all devices, Clone supports the latest iOS technologies. Use Clone as a document provider to edit code directly in your favorite editor, including Swift Playgrounds on iPads. Comparing your changes is only a swipe away with the Today view extension, even when editing in another app. Be more productive with iPad multitasking. You can work side-by-side. Write a blog post in Markdown from one app while previewing live in Clone. Commit and push are just a tap away too. Whatever the size, you're covered.

- A Code Editor tailored for Git

Be fearless with version control. Clone's text editor previews HTML and Markdown. Write your blog next blog post from your device. Clone's editor performs syntax highlighting in 30+ languages and shows line numbers so you always know right where you are. Customize with 5 elegant code fonts, configurable sizes, soft tabs, and line wrapping. It's built around Git, so commit, blame, and revert are always at your fingertips.

- Your Git workflow, anywhere

Pull, edit, commit, and push from any iOS device. Connect your GitHub or Bitbucket account for instant access to your public and private repos. Use a public key for password-free authentication. View diffs before committing, ignore files, and be a Git master without a command-line.

- Advanced Git support: Branch, Merge, Remotes

Does git push heroku master mean something to you? What about a gh-pages branch? Clone can push your repos and communicate with multiple remotes. When merge conflicts happen, Clone helps there too.

- Powerful integrations: git init to github.com in seconds

After connecting to your Github or Bitbucket account, you can clone your repos without typing a thing. Repos you create on your device can be published to GitHub or bitbucket in seconds.

Fix a bug, start a blog, or think bigger.

### 1/5 — Stay away

*2024-08-13*

Is working as a a git client but if you want to integrate to your Finder iOS , you will cry

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2023-06-30*

tried to pull any of my repositories from GitHub.  Successfully “connected” to github, created keys, but when I try to clone it repeatedly asks for username/password and fails to work.  With the generated, and verified property registered keys, it shouldn’t even be asking for credentials.  I’ve been using git for just over fifteen years, so I can say with a fair degree of certainty… this app doesn’t work.

### 4/5 — GitHub auto by token

*2023-02-13, version 1.4.0*

Can’t clone private repo, for GitHub it is needed to use token instead of login/password auth.

### 1/5 — There’s “wrong”, and then there’s this.

*2022-06-16, version 1.4.0*

I cloned a repo, opened a .js file in the built in editor, and it changed all the single- and double-quotes to typesetter’s quotes.

### 1/5 — フォルダをpushできない

*2021-04-28, version 1.4.0*

詐欺です。

### 1/5 — Gone

*2021-02-16*

It does appear to be abandoned, sadly.

### 3/5 — Excellent git client

*2020-09-09, version 1.4.0*

I am using this app for update the static blog which put on github.
Really nice price and enough functions.
I love this.

By the way, one thing want to request, if have color theme and switching dark mode, it will also work really good as editor.
Please consider to support to change the theme color.

使い始めたばかりですが、なかなか良いです。
シンプルで過不足ありません。push機能は有料ですが良心的な価格だと思います。
レビューがなかったので少し不安でしたが、趣味の個人開発なら良い選択肢だと思います。

Working cpoyも試したのですが、課金がネックですね。
毎年1900円くらい払って、買い切りではありませんでした。

その点、このアプリは買い切りで安心です。

追記: プッシュするときにアプリがクラッシュすることがある。
これは様子見だな。

### 1/5 — Useless

*2020-08-20*

The app looks neat. Git functions work well. The issue it makes it useless is the character coding. You can view any file, but once you enter into edit mode, and you change file, it will turn from utf-8 to ascii and all the single and double apostrophes will turn to be curly apostrophe in the whole file.. It saves all changes instantly which makes the app “look but do not touch”.

I would request a full refund. £9.99 for something I cannot use....

### 4/5 — Nice

*2020-05-08, version 1.3.0*

Have some trouble with cyrillic filenames. Can not create files in local repo with cyrillic name

### 1/5 — GitHub and BitBucket ONLY

*2019-08-16*

Can’t use general git repositories. Can’t use gitlab.
