What's New in Git client

7.0.6

October 19, 2026

Pinch to change the text size when comparing changes, such as those of a pull request allowing very small font sizes when you want to see the overall shape of changes. Fixes issue that could cause bad performance for some users. Includes latest improvements to 7.0.5 Review pull requests from GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Gitea and Forgejo without leaving Working Copy. Pull requests are listed from the repository screen, where you can comment on their changes, submit a review and merge them. Comparisons point out changes that only touch whitespace or rename something, and a Review button turns them into a short video to share. Commenting and reviewing is a pro feature available to anyone who purchased or upgraded their pro unlock within the last year. Ready for iPhone Duo. Unfolded, the repository and the file you are working on sit on either side of the fold, and files and the Repository Agent can open in windows of their own, as they also can on iPad. Held like a laptop, the editor keeps your code above the fold and puts Tab, Undo and the keyboard below it. Hosting providers for the same server can be signed in with different accounts. A repository cloned from a provider's list, or created on a provider, keeps using that provider's account. The Auto-Sync commit message can include the date, time and the files being committed. Links to headings in Markdown previews work the way GitHub, Typora and Obsidian name headings, so headings with punctuation, spaces or Chinese characters can be reached. After following a link, a back button takes you back to where you were.

Use git; buy this

Manditary

Unique and it delivers

Hard to find such a complete package in the form of an iOS app

Excellent

This app is above your normal iPad app quality. This is almost as good as being on GitHub itself, it is missing the โ€˜issuesโ€™ and โ€˜projectsโ€™ 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.
