About

goDeploy

Features
Read full description

goDeploy puts your entire deployment workflow in your pocket. Connect to any Linux server over SSH, deploy code from GitHub or Bitbucket, and manage everything from your iPhone or iPad - no laptop required. TWO-WAY GIT SYNC GoDeploy works in both directions: Repo → Server: Pull the latest code from your repository to your server. One tap to fetch, checkout, and run post-deploy commands like composer install, npm build, or php artisan migrate. Watch every step live. Server → Repo: Edited files directly on the server? GoDeploy detects every change, shows you a line-by-line diff, and lets you stage, commit, and push selected files back to your repository — with full commit message and branch control. It even warns you when a file was also modified on the remote, so you never accidentally overwrite a teammate's work. AI-POWERED FAILURE DIAGNOSIS When a deployment fails, tap AI Fix. GoDeploy sends the error log to AI, which diagnoses the problem, explains what went wrong, and gives you the exact commands to fix it. Copy and run them right from the app — or execute them inline with one tap. SMART CONFLICT RESOLUTION Merge conflicts? GoDeploy detects them automatically and opens a visual resolver. For each conflicting file, choose to keep the server version, accept the remote version, or let AI merge both sides intelligently. Review the result, apply, and redeploy — all without touching a terminal. BUILT-IN SSH TERMINAL Need to run a quick command? Switch to the Terminal tab for a full interactive SSH session — right inside the app. No separate terminal app needed. PRIVATE REPOS & DEPLOY KEYS GoDeploy generates and manages SSH deploy keys automatically. For GitHub and Bitbucket, it can register keys via API — or guide you through manual setup step by step. YOUR CREDENTIALS NEVER LEAVE YOUR DEVICE All passwords and SSH keys are stored in the iOS Keychain, encrypted by the operating system. GoDeploy connects directly from your device to your server — there is no cloud relay, no intermediary, no proxy. Your credentials are never transmitted to our servers or any third party. FREE & PRO Get started free with servers, projects, and AI credits included. Upgrade to Pro for unlimited servers and projects, iCloud sync across devices, Push to Repo, and additional AI credits. PERFECT FOR • Freelancers managing client servers • Indie developers shipping side projects • Small teams without CI/CD infrastructure • Agencies deploying WordPress, Laravel, or Node.js sites • DevOps engineers who need to deploy on the go WHAT YOU CAN DEPLOY Any Git repository to any Linux server with SSH access.

REQUIREMENTS • iPhone or iPad running iOS 17+ • A Linux server with SSH access • A Git repository (GitHub, Bitbucket, or any provider) Privacy Policy: https://godeployapp.com/privacy-policy.html Terms (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
