PlomGit is a simple open source git client. It supports enough basic functionality that programmers can use it for version controlling their personal files. Repositories are accessible through the Files app, so you can use other apps to work with your repositories' files. PlomGit only supports fetching and pushing through http(s). Account passwords or tokens can be stored separately from repositories, so that repositories can easily share them. Note: When using PlomGit with GitHub, you cannot use your normal GitHub password with PlomGit. You must go into the settings of the GitHub website and generate a Personal Access Token that PlomGit can use instead.

Verdict
PlomGit and ShortWeb both sit at 3.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 50% of ShortWeb's written reviews are positive against 0% of PlomGit's. ShortWeb also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 6 months). PlomGit's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). On price, rating, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ShortWeb sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. PlomGit asks for nothing beyond the download.
PlomGit holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 3.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 4 and 9 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of PlomGit's written reviews are positive against 50% of ShortWeb's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
PlomGit ships an update every 6 months, ShortWeb every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 5, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
