Source Files is a faster way to access GitHub, Gitea, GitLab and BitBucket from the Finder and Files app without having to clone repositories or commit changes. Using REST APIs instead of the traditional Git protocol you will be editing files in even the largest repositories in seconds: • Drag a repository URL to the Files app • Browse the directory that immediately appears • Open and Edit files in your favorite app Source Files is file oriented and making edits to 3 different files will result in 3 commits. It is possible to configure the app to work in a branch where a messy commit history is acceptable and merge changes back using pull requests. Consider using traditional Git clients like Working Copy or Tower for projects that need a tidy commit history in all branches. There is rich support for automation with Shortcuts actions to List, Download, Upload and Move files. Uploading files from the Mac services menu and share sheet is supported and very fast as target directories are remembered for different file types. The app is free to use with a single server. A Pro Unlock is required for multiple servers, available as a one-time purchase or a monthly subscription, with access shared across iPhone, iPad, and Mac. A one-week free trial allows users to evaluate Pro features before purchase. Source Files is restricted by GitHub, GitLab and BitBucket API quotas that depend on your account privileges.

Watch your GitHub Actions, with a concise overview of recent results and the ability to jump directly to test failures. - Watches up to 3 public GitHub repos without a subscription. - With a monthly or yearly subscription, you may add personal access tokens and follow as many public or private repos as you wish. - Conservatively allocates requests to ensure that GitHub's API request limits are never exceeded. Without an active subscription, Test Reflector watches up to 3 public GitHub repositories. Adding a monthly or annual subscription unlocks the ability to add personal access tokens, allowing the app to track private repositories as well as to check more frequently for updates. Note: the easiest way to get tokens into iOS at the moment is to use the Universal Clipboard with Continuity from Mac desktop or laptop computer. In the future we may add quicker ways to generate tokens from the app, but for now we're starting with simpler and more manual workflows.
