What's New in Porcelain Git

2.0.0

September 7, 2026

Porcelain 2.0 is a rewrite. Every screen and the entire Git layer are new, built on libgit2 and written for iPhone and iPad from scratch. What that brings: • Remotes. Clone, fetch, pull, and push over HTTPS, with divergence reported before anything is rewritten. • Credentials in the Keychain, and nowhere else. • A unified diff viewer, so you read every hunk before it is staged. • Staging file by file, and a commit sheet with full authorship control. • A commit history graph. • Branch creation and switching, local and remote. • Your repositories in the Files app. • Split view on iPad.

GREAT WORK

It is the only one app that can edit and manage code with git on iOS.

Best git client for iOS!

Clean and tidy!

One of the best

It’s one of the best. Although SSH is not working.

Excellent and free

It works well and I have found it to be reliable. It supports github, gitlab and custom repos. Nice work and thank you to the developer!

Best Git Client For iOS

I've been looking for a solution for coding on the go for awhile. Most clients on iOS are more of front ends for specific Git services (GitHub, BitBucket, etc). Which is fine, if you want to be married to those specific services. This client works how a Git client should, service agnostic. Simply paste the repo's URL, and clone, branch, commit, push.

No pay-walls, no hoops, nice and straight forward.

The built in editor is decent enough. For doing some simple code changes, this is perfect. I would like to see the ability to clone a repo into Dropbox or OneDrive from the app, then open the repo in something like Texttastic. That would be my one suggestion.
