What's New in Git client

7.0.2

September 18, 2026

Repositories can be linked to hidden folders such as .vim inside iSH or iVim. The Files app never shows folders starting with a dot, so the new Hidden Directory option has you pick the folder containing it and then choose among the hidden folders inside. Auto-Sync no longer reports a failed sync when the device is locked while syncing, or when a remote on your local network cannot be reached because the device is on another network. Syncing continues at the next unlock or once you are back on that network. Includes latest improvements to 7.0.0 Repository Agent can now run on Apple's Private Cloud Compute, using a larger model than the one on your device while keeping your code inside Apple's privacy guarantees. It needs no API key and no subscription, and appears in the service menu on devices with Apple Intelligence running the latest version of iOS. When the daily allowance runs out, Working Copy offers to continue with whichever AI service you have set up. Fetch, Pull, Push and Sync actions for Shortcuts are no longer cut short when they take a while. A slow transfer keeps running with progress and a Stop button, so pushing a large repository from an automation finishes instead of stopping halfway, and the Fetch button on the widget works the same way. This needs the latest version of iOS.

User reviews

Excellent

This app is above your normal iPad app quality. This is almost as good as being on GitHub itself, it is missing the ‘issues’ and ‘projects’ that are resident there, but since that is not a standard in Git, I am very impressed. I did not hesitate to purchase after I had tried it for a couple of days.
