Please do not interrupt me for a review. I paid for this app, and I like it and it's great and you should buy this app, too. But I use this app to solve problems and accomplish things. Just now, I opened the app todo just that, and instead of allowing me to use it, it interrupted me before I had done anything and asked for a review. If this app were free, it would seem reasonable to exchange my attention for the software, but I paid for this app. And so, instead of solving my problem, I now was faced with solving the _developer's_ problem. And so we have here a one star review. Just having to stop and think through this caused me to totally lose my concentration and forget what I was doing. In short, given that I've paid for the app, I don't understand the thinking that it's OK to take my attention away to help marketing the app. I would encourage the developer to set a fair price so that I can use that app—I'll gladly pay that price. But I really do want to use the app, not participate in a survey or help the developer with marketing. I'm sorry, but I really just want to use the app.

Thinking of using this for college writing. Currently using google docs on mobile for my college student to keep writing creativity mobile, but I want to review their writing process (AKA version control). I use Working Copy to verify git push from stash on the Pythonista app. The UI is clean and simple enough for my language students. Pro version seems reasonable. Wondering if there are bulk purchases for large groups.

Great Support. Great App. Still requires TLS 1.2 for cloning.... We had some troubles getting the app configured with our HTTPS-only GitLab instance. The "hosting provider" setup appeared to go ok and even passed the "Test" connection but any attempt to clone a repository resulted in an error: "Unexpected return value from ssl handshake: -9836". Some fiddling with our hardened nginx configuration revealed that forcing TLS 1.3 breaks Working Copy's cloning functions. Enabling TLSv1.2 solved the problem but is sub-optimal from a security standpoint. I messaged the developer this morning and received a response within hours. Amazing. Have raised our rating from 2stars to 4stars and upgraded to Pro straight away. Will hold onto that 5th star until TLSv1.3 works for cloning ;)

Essential Tool on the iPad. The iPad is an incredible device. It’s instant on, lightweight, decently powerful. It lacks some stuff for sure, but by adding Working Copy to my repertoire of apps it has replaced a laptop for me. Working Copy gives me amazing access to my various repos and does so elegantly. Historically, I am a Linux guy (Slackware particularly). I prefer Vim, git’s CLI, and a compiler. Yet, Working Copy is just so darned handy, I find that my workstation is rarely actually powered on. The ability to lounge in hammock, sip a coffee, get work done on the iPad with Working Copy, all while enjoying the fresh air... it’s just too hard to say no. Life is short. Enjoy more of it by freeing yourself from your computer. Use your iPad, and use Working Copy. If you’re sitting indoors at a desk every single day in 2019 when this alternative is available, you’re doing it wrong. If you’re wondering why it’s 4 instead of 5 stars, that’s primarily due to pricing structure. 15 USD each year for the feature set worries me as many apps become abandonware.

Great app overall, but editor is lacking. I paid for the Pro upgrade and this app is great when it comes to its Git integration and support. It’s easy to use and handles most of everything I’ve needed to do. However, the editor is quite plain and simple. Nothing wrong with that, but the basic ability to find AND REPLACE text is missing so editing can be quite onerous. Also, you must enable Shake to Undo on the iPhone to undo/ redo, there are no menu actions or buttons for this. Other than these drawbacks, I do not regret paying for this app, and I will update this review to be 5-stars if these features ever get implemented.

Virtually Perfect. Plenty of other reviews will better cover how great this app is. The ONLY issue I’ve had with it is one that I’m unsure if it’s a device hardware issue or something else, but it can be a bit slow at times. For example, a repo that’s over ~700mb, if pulling a branch that’s behind a few hundred commits, will take roughly 10-15 minutes to fetch and merge in. This is on a 12 Pro Max, both on 5G and gigabit wireless. My phone is NOT a development environment with the power of my MacBook, so I really can’t say this would retract from a 5 star.

Fantastic app by a fantastic developer that is definitely deserving of your support. I’ll preface by saying that I am not a developer, just a hobbyist. I really don’t use git a ton aside from cloning repositories for self hosted apps on my raspberry pi or digital ocean server etc. In fact, I use this developer’s other app, secure shellfish (also a fantastic app- best ssh client for iOS hands down), for all of that. That being said, I have a good understanding of how git works and an appreciation for well developed apps. This one is outstanding. Both of this developer’s apps continue to amaze me with their ability to seemingly push the limits of what’s possible with iOS. I don’t think any other apps integrate so seamlessly with the iOS files app and are as feature rich as secure shellfish and working copy. The UIs are also extremely visually pleasing. Although I can do everything (and more) that I need just from the free version, I felt compelled to pay for the pro features. As another reviewer said, give this guy your money. He definitely deserves it.

So useful!. Using the iPad-native app iFontMaker to create fonts, I find Working Copy indispensable to creating truly open-source fonts. Without it, and without its commit, push and pull features, every file I work on would have to be transferred off the iPad to some other system simply to get it to Github — which, in reality, means most changes wouldn’t be recorded, collaboration with another designer would be implausible, and versioning would be impossible. I bought the upgrade immediately because Working Copy’s utility is so stark. Great tool for any workflow that incorporates an iPad. Five stars!

Best iOS / iPad OS application I’ve ever used. I’ve never been so impressed with an application on a mobile device. The features / options available in this robust application has changed my ability to do work in so many positive ways. I can finally go places without my laptop! That is such a HUGE improvement in my life. 100% worth the cost. I’m very happy to support this developer in his endeavors.

Take my money!. Literally within the first 10 minutes of using this app I wanted to give this man my money. And I did. I was able to connect to my github account with ease and even create a PGP key in a few taps and I don’t even know what the heck a PGP key is except that it verifies my identity on github somehow when I push changes. I originally was looking for a markdown editor with source control capabilities and this app fits the bill. I was able to create some markdown and reference image files elsewhere in the repository and it all worked, and it even has a nifty markdown preview capability. I opened a second instance of the app side by side on my ipad and had one instance in editor mode and the other in preview mode, and although it’s not a live update, as soon as I tapped “Done” though the instance in preview mode reflected the changes immediately, which I more than I had hoped for from an app that wasn’t trying to be a markdown editor! I could still edit the markdown on the first instance too just by tapping on the text area again. EDIT: I just noticed that the markdown preview refreshed about every 5 seconds or so, so even though it’s still not a live update, the auto refresh updates the preview fast enough! Even if you don’t download the app just send the man your money anyways; he totally deserves it.

Good but clone UI doesn’t scale. This is a pretty great app with one limitation that is super annoying.. my github account is affiliated with an organization that has hundreds of repo’s. In the working copy UI this is really problematic as i have to scroll through pages and pages of stuff i’m not interested in to see my own repos. There is no way of flitering this list, or searching. And even more annoying is that the started repo’s which i care about most are right at the end of the list! This makes me think twice before using the app to clone a new project as I waste literally minutes hunting through solutions manually. Please fix this as it seriously limits the usefulness of an otherwise excellent app.

Almost perfect. Been playing with this all day and so far I love almost everything about it. Two features I’d love to see added: 1) [important] I’ve swiped and tapped and touched; I’ve googled and scoured the user guide; No matter where I go, I can’t find a way to use git’s “stash” feature. This is a really important feature when working between multiple branches and keeping commits well partitioned amongst your branches and separate from the HEAD branch. 2) [nice to have] I’d love to see an optional git command line interface. Frankly, this would allow advanced users to do really unlock the power of git without even needing to get through the learning curve of this app’s (admittedly well designed) GUI. If this were already in place, I wouldn’t even need to ask for feature (1) here. But all in all, a great app. Well worth the money.

Works great to access my org mode docs on gitlab. The built-in editor works great, especial for my org mode documents. I was using Textastic that worked well for markdown, but being able to stay in WorkingCopy makes it easier. I find WorkingCopy is the only tool on ios I need to work with git. It is easy to use and always expanding in what it can do. It is my ios version of Magit.

Glimmer of Hope for an iOS Life. You know how CGP Grey and those guys that use exclusively iOS on principle, the principle being a future where it’s actually a valid OS for developers and designers and real actual people who use computers for work? This is an app that seriously makes me believe that might be possible. Not only does it let me check my repos on a train but also is trying real, real hard to be part of an ad-hoc ecosystem of good apps that do one thing well. Next up: iSH and hopefully something like Sublime Text for iOS.

Impeccable, Inspiring, Rock solid. This app is way above and beyond anything I have seen developed. To put things into perspective, I’m not a git core expert, but I’m a professor in computer science. The reliability and integration is superb, the interface is powerful but keep peripheral things out of the way. The text editor is so good it actually beats more editor on an ipad, the list goes on and on. You learn from this app how to properly use git and an ipad. And most importantly, the developer is insanely thoughtful and caring. Had a problem once? gave me access to a more expensive version of the app that solved my pb. Had an issue with a pdf rendering? answered my email in 3h and solved the bug in the next issue (among ten other improvements) a few days later. If you have or want to use git, no hesitation before buying this pap. Every dollar invest in this app will pay for itself in a better way to work on your projects.

Fab simple iPad copy of git projects. Been a subscriber for years. The iPad does not host a serious programming dev environment but I feel reassured to carry with me a copy of important programming projects. The iPad however hosts good latex options. I use TexPad. My latex git projects are kept locally in sync via WorkingCopy. I point my latex editor to the git folder within WorkingCopy, giving me a way to open my iPad, like right now at a coffee shop, and work on my latex documents.

Has a bit of a learning curve but is very much worth it. As with anything related to Git, Working Copy does take some getting used to. However, once you get there it is absolute worth every penny. I use it on an almost daily basis and have nothing but good things to say about. You do need the pro version for things to be fully functional, so find some time where you think you will use those feature and sign up for the trial. I use Textastic to write in, and the two play well together.

Very good user experience, some small improvements. The User Manual is found under Settings which was not an obvious location, a "?" icon Somewhere obvious on the interface would be helpful to us beginners. I didn't find the magic on how to .zip repositories to have quick local access, so I tried the Share icon ... The concept of syncing with the iCloud Files needs some work, obviously, you'll put a .git directory there the first save, then the App gets concerned when it sees the .git directory there the next time that the Repository is "sync'd" or "saved" from the Share icon. Clearly, the intention is to utilize git push / pull but this seems to only be part of the process when ssh or an external Repo (via network) is involved. The editor is solid and I will check out the Pro features, but I expect those to make the purchase worth it.

As someone else said, take my money!. Sounds silly, but the utility of this tool is beyond words. A fully functional client for iOS, and with so many features?! The markdown parsing functionality is a huge bonus as well. Beautifully done, as are the developers’ other apps, which you should check out if this is of interest.

glad it exists. really glad the app exists. the app does things unexpectedly and doesn't behave how i think a git client should work. it unexpectedly stashes on a pull without any configuration options for defining that behavior, which has caused some heartache when my changes mysteriously disappeared. the stash options only exist when you tap and hold on the repository status, but not in any of the triple dot menus. the app is a very frustrating implementation of a gui git client. the icons aren't intuitive to me, but git has no defined visual representations for commands so it's hard to really complain about that. i honestly hate the app, i'm not a gui person, i just want git on my phone but there are no other good alternatives for ios that i have found. so im glad this app exists despite my frustrations.

Not a serious user but still reccomend. ill be completely honest... most of the time i have no idea what im doing, but i love to play around with it. From the moment i downloaded this app, it was clear the developer is knowledgeable and dedicated to their app. The way i see it, if you enjoy a product and it does exactly what you need if not more, then you pay for it. So please dont complain that you have to pay for the full app, in most cases, when you dont pay...its called stealing. Thank Satan for ads funding most "free" services you most likely use. I speak only to the negative reviewers. If you like this app and know how to use it, i reccomend the paid version 100%, it will be worth it.

Works very well. Nice git client and basic editor along with highlighting for many languages. Would be nice to have at least some kind of intelisense, but understandably, it would be hard to do so with a mobile device. Would be nice to see something like an interactive rebase or at least better ways to rebase instead of a simple rebase so that a commit can be reworded, fixed up, or the order changed. Also maybe something like a diff screen for between branches so that it would be easier to see what has changed between the working branch and the upstream master or something.

Best git client for iOS - great customer service. I run a flat-file CMS with a git sync plugin that supports webhooks - meaning all I need to do is push commits to my repo from my phone/iPad and my site is automatically updated. This is the desired workflow for me, as I’m not always in front of a computer. This workflow works flawlessly. I did encounter a bug with creating directories via the app, and Anders replied to my support request in less than 12 hours and provided an interim fix until it’s pushed live. Top-notch support for a top-notch app!

Completely blown away. I’ve been using the app for over a year. I just found the image difference view with split view cut view and color glow. Oh. My. God. You mean to tell me that from one place I can edit files, see history, globally search, visually compare changes (Even in images), and remotely push and PR to the Git server? WHY IS THIS ONLY $16 and $8 A YEAR after that?! this beats the SNOT out of stuff I’ve seen charged $50 and $100 a year on the desktop! If you’re on the fence about whether you should pay $16 because you see every other app going 99 cents or bust—think more in terms of how much time this elegantly designed app will save you. How much do you value your time? Will this app save you time? Do it. JUST. DO IT. DON’T LET YOUR DREAMS BE DREAMS

A good choice for managing markdown notes on mobile. I basically use it as my mobile end markdown notes manager. Syncing change via git repo, and storing my note in open markdown format is better, safer and more independent than other private note book solutions. Working copy is my choice after trying many other markdown editors. Most of other editors cannot even render local image in markdown note correctly, which makes working copy looks even better.

Second rating. Hello. I am back. I like the way you can import projects from virtually anywhere and edit on your phone. But there’s bugs. I hate bugs. Do you like bugs? Ok. So. When your in the middle of editing something and copying from here and pasting into there. And then you go back one too many pages. And it hits you, when you can’t find the netbeans project folder. Because working copy deleted it. It hits you. That you just got fooled. Working copy isn’t what you thought it was going to be. No, not the application that seamlessly edits and commits with NO bugs. Not that one. Maybe in the next lifetime. Some app will do what it “claims to do” and everyone will be happy. If you read this till the end, good job.

Wish all apps were of this quality!. If all apps were of this quality, the App Store wouldn’t be such a cesspool. The developer clearly spent a lot of time on this app and it shows. The attention to detail is incredible. Very intuitive, great UI and UX, easy to navigate, and a ton of features even with the free app. I am just starting to learn Git and have been struggling with learning via GitHub. After spending some time in Working Copy, I’m finally picking it up. Definitely plan on purchasing Pro once I become a little more knowledgeable. Thanks for the amazing app!

Working Copy is a Developer’s Must. There are several things I love but for me selling point was developer’s dedication. There may come a GitHub mobile app and other git client apps. However, none can provide perspective, tools and updates like a developer who perfects his crafts everyday. Anders Borum (working copy’s creator) has several other developer apps in his offerings. So don’t take the word from me, go and checkout his twitter. You be genuinely surprised.

Amazing!!. The work this developer has put into the app is palpable. What a masterpiece! The app works seamlessly with iOS, particularly with the file system, and is a pleasure to use. I quickly could tell how valuable it was and am happy to have bought the pro features. For others struggling with Obsidian syncing over iCloud, as I was, this single one-time purchase (paired with the obsidian git plugin) will fix that. Thanks for the great app and cheers to you!

A Pillar to the Future of Programming. Working Copy is not only a must-have app if you aim to move some or all of your development workflow to iOS/PadOS, it is proof that the world of programming as we know it is ready for a new wave of execution. Working Copy is THE git Client App that was really made to showcase what developers dream of when we dream of git workflows. It is intuitive in implementation, effortless in execution, and is a downright wizard of an app. This App is worth so much more than what it is priced at.

Fantastic. A powerful, easy to use git client for iPad. I’ve been a happy customer for years and the app just keeps getting better. Regular feature updates and the app stays current with the latest OS updates. Pro upgrade is definitely worth it! It’s a very reasonable price and I love the payment model: unlock sets of features each year. It’s a great way to handle payment.

Quality software. With this app I am able to set up automatic pull from a git repository when a different app opens (automatically using Working Copy’s shortcuts integration), and automatic push when that app closes. This allows me to sync that app’s data in an automated fashion. It works really well, and I’m not aware of anything else in the iOS App Store that can do what it does.

Great personal wiki repo. I use vimwiki for my note taking and keep it in a github repo. I've been looking for a way to view it (in markdown format) and edit it on my iPhone and this is the best option I've found by far. I hesitated at first to pay for the pro version just to push to the remote repo, but it's worth it for sure. Slight interface changes here and there can be improved (e.g. accessing the buttons for pull/push/fetch) but otherwise this is a great app.

Decent app, too expensive. As a fellow app developer, I understand paying to support continued development. This is a pretty good app with a lot of features, but $16 is way too expensive. I was expecting $5, which I would have gladly paid. You’re in a low volume market and pricing yourself out of sales is a bad idea. I have been selling apps for quite some time and the typical economic paradigms are still at play - sales volume always makes up for margin. Not being able to access github issues, wiki, etc. is unfortunate. CodeHub is free and does that quite well, but I paid for it since the social aspect is so helpful. Every day I respond to issues with that app. Anyway, nice app, but I’ll go back to what I was previously using since $16 is rather off-putting.

The only le-git solution for iOS. Forgive the stupid pun. But seriously, it’s the only power app for dealing with repositories. It’s ABSOLUTELY worth the paid version if you spend any time editing or viewing repos (there are less functional apps trying to charge recurring subscription) Reasons this app is better than the others I’ve tried: - Ability to use preferred text editor (I use Textastic) - Works with Gitlab and other non-GitHub sources - Constant updates - Multiple remotes per repo - IOS files integration - Ability to upload a repo to an SSH server, run commands (scripts, linting, compiling, etc), then having the resulting changes synced to your device so you can review the changes before commit. It seems to only sync the diff which is impressive. That last feature is super useful. The only reason I can complain is because it took me so long to discover it. It’s kinda hard to find and you have to dig to find it on the iPhone. It’s a killer feature, it shouldn’t be so obscure.

Great app. Finally an app that take the mystery out of GitHub. Starting a CS50 class where they describe the Unix commands to cloning and pushing and adding. This app allowed me to experiment with all those commands in a easy visual method. It still took several tries to understand the sequence of uploading a program, cloning it, committing and pushing it up to github. Visually to can see the process. Its a wonderful app. I read where someone complained it cost $8 more for the app. He probably paid that much for a Starbucks coffee. Thanks again.

Great and very complete git application. This is a great application for anyone who uses git and might benefit from being able to push from mobile. The text editor can also preview markdown very well, and you can do anything you would expect from any git GUI, like visualizing your branches, diffs etc. Even without the paid features (mainly pushing to remotes), this is a useful app to consult data that’s on git. All around a great joh by the developers.

Great workflow. Not only can I work on projects from my phone or iPad, it is a real pleasure to do so. Integration with other software (Textastic, Drafts) just works, and commit/push/pull workflow is intuitive and nice. I can’t really do everything from mobile with this, but it isn’t really the app’s fault — sometimes I just need or want a REPL for trying stuff out and/or a more fully featured IDE to work in. But for quick changes and especially things like making edits to documentation or website content, it’s such a great workflow I almost prefer it to desktop. Highly recommended!

Awesome app, awesome developer. Anders and I are almost best friends now - that’s how much I communicate with him over email! The app works flawlessly and whenever something is broken, Anders addresses it and fixes it right away and offers to test it out before it is released publicly. There isn’t anything else to say. Just that the app does everything it promises and does it well and the developer is one of the best ones I’ve worked with.

good but why have push pro only?. I find it stupid that pushing is a pro only feature. Because of that this app becomes useless after the trial forcing me back to the even more useless git2go because I cant zip up a repository that I cloned on my phone and transferred to my laptop to make changes and commited on to push it on my phone as the laptop has no internet as the wifi driver in 1803 and the latest windows insiders keeps disconnecting me. This is why I got this app to replace that trash app but with push being pro it makes this one trash too. Sorry but if you want people want to be able to use it without them being forced to buy pro or people like me who cannot get a job because of my mental stability and so I do open source to pass time. Please take this into consideration. I love the fact of gpg signing too something git2go does not have. Although I would like it if I could press some rebase button on a commit that asks me if I want to squash it into the previous commit and possibly ones after it or fixup the previous one using only the currently opened one to basically amend the one before it. Other than that keep up the good work. :wink: Even I would like to help with making this app if it itself was also open source.

Most of what I need, very close to what I want. It’s pretty amazing actually that it’s one of the better Git GUIs I’ve used and it’s an app on my phone. There’s truly something to be said for simplicity and how a phone screen challenges an application to be its best self to the benefit of users. I appreciate the details that contribute to a smooth experience: the the option to push on a commit, being able to easily Fast Forward, the amount of detail on commits, etc. Thanks to a helpful response by the developer, I found out where the word wrap toggle is and that there is a landscape mode (just happened to not work for me at first.) I discovered there’s even a minimap scrolling feature when tapping & holding the left side of the editor (seems like maybe it only works when line numbers are on?) It doesn’t replace a full-featured editor at this point, especially without real-time linting*, but it does make most basic development tasks entirely possible. *someone should create an API for that to support lightweight editors, preclude the need local updates potential restarts, etc.

My favorite GUI git client. Working Copy is the only GUI git client, on any platform, that I like better than the command line git. I like the preview features, the reliability, the way it handles rebasing, the excellent responsiveness of the developer, and yes, I like the pricing model! I wish every app used this model. Retaining access to previously unlocked features means I never go backwards when a subscription expires, and I don't mind needing to pay to upgrade to the latest greatest thing. I recommend Working Copy for other geeks, especially those who use an iPad as a primary computing device, and anyone who needs to use a git repo as file storage.

The only app I volunteer to subscribe to!. Andres is doing amazing work. This developer should be the model for all apps that want re-occurring revenue. The app is fantastic, constantly working better, and the pay the renewal for new features, but not until one comes out that you need. This is just the way it ought to be. Unlike my other now not so favorite apps. Take Drafts for iso who went to a $20/year, or $2/month price if you wanted to continue to use a dark there. Keep up the good work Andres. I’ve enjoyed/love your app, I and I bought the renewal anyway out of principle because it’s Developers like you that deserve the money!

This GIT client is AWESOME. Seriously this GIT client is amazing. I couldn’t get to all my repos and edit and update from my iPad, I could VPN into my network and remote into a remote server and make my changes from there, but that is such a hassle. I love having GIT functionality directly on my iPad/iPhone. Seriously I have started keeping all my notes in a repository of markdown because it’s so easy to edit and push my changes from my iPad, then anyone can have access to the repository (platform, os, tool independent) Thank you for this easy to use tool.

Great for managing git Repositories on the go. This app works exactly as you would expect it to. This app gives you all of your commit history, let’s you post on any branch of your choice, and let’s you gather repositories from any number of accounts you have. The one downside of this application is you have to pay 16$ dollars for it since the free version does not allow you to upload local changes to your remote branch which kind of defeats the entire purpose of the app. Overall I love this app and highly recommend it if you use git regularly especially if you need to make quick on the go changes to your remote branches.

Made iPad My Only Portable. This app has enabled me to live in a world where I can take only an iPad Pro with me and I use it constantly every single day. Well designed and intuitive. I may be in the minority but I am glad to see an annual payment arrangement because without a consistent source of revenue I can’t imagine this app sticking around and that would be very sad. If there is one thing I would add it would be more refined and detailed diffs...and of course a Mac app would be excellent. I hope Catalyst can help make that a reality.

What Can I Do For Everyone Else Always?. I'm just a little burned out on the App Store shenanigans lately. I've lost count of the number of "Pro" upgrades of purchased which are now "free" and covered with ads. I'm tired of plunking down cash for expensive programs that, months later, switch to a subscription model, taking my cash and flushing it in the process. I'm tired of paying for apps, only to find them still filled with Ads. Maybe I'm just having a bad run, but the App Store truly feels like a scammer's bazaar these days. There are pick-pockets everywhere. I don't really lump the Working Copy folks into the group ... because they at least make a quality product and seem to put real effort into it. This is why I paid for a "permanent" Pro upgrade 14 months ago. And just paid $8 again for another "permanent" Pro upgrade. Like many other things, "permanent" doesn't mean what I thought it did. I'm sure it it's worth it, and I'm glad to support them, I just feel a little burned out and a little "over-used". I bought last Christmas and it just doesn't feel that long ago to get hit up again. I feel like I get rolled like a drunken sailor every time I log into the app store these days. I really like the app though. Nice work, guys.

My personal review 🧙. I have just paid the $20 for the lifetime pro subscription because the app’s developer personal photo was at the bottom of the page.🧙🏻‍♂️and I felt that was the best way too contribute too the cause? Also because of future publishing rights being that I am being a earlier adopter! Of this app! I can’t give it a 5 yet being that I haven’t set up Or utilize it yet! ( link to project) publish, etc! I also did it for for the my sanity!

This app is crazy impressive. I don't recall how I came across this app. I guess I was kind of curious to see if there was some sort git client that handled pulling and pushing. As I think about it now, I don't think there are any other app that does pulling and pushing. So I downloaded the app to give it a shot. I will admit, I was a little sad to find that a there are paid pro features provided with the application. I have been a bit spoiled with some awesome free stuff when it comes to development. But then I started to explore the app a little bit. Then I tried out the 10 ten day pro trial. And I have to say, this app is crazy impressive. It just about handles the basic git commands very well, and it doesn't leave any of the basic ones out. On top of that, instead of being just a git client, there is also text editing and development included! I will admit this too. I have not yet purchased the pro, but I wouldn't be suprised if I finally did within the next few weeks. To have this crazy impressive application to be done by one developer is a job well done. feature request... rebasing? or did I miss that...

Happy to pay for Pro version. I’ve never been happier to pay for a Pro version even when I don’t know that I’ll use the Pro features that much because I still work primarily on a full development PC (watch me end up using WorkingCopy Pro more than I think I will). As a developer, I appreciate “good” software. I’ve tried many other git clients for iOS/iPadOS and WorkingCopy is the one that has had the fullest feature set combined with the most stable/robust implementation. I’ve had no issues getting anything to work. I read that Anders, the Author, works on WorkingCopy as a side project so wanted to support this effort by buying Pro.

So easy. I love it it is so easy to push create and copy repository's or files on iPad or iPhone. Even if easier on the iPad Pro. But I love this app what a handy and great tool

Terrific. Hands-down the most intuitive and capable integrated git UI I have used on any platform, let alone a touch screen.

Feature rich git client. Been using it for ages, heaps of features and files support, fantastic.

So easy to use. Now with Working Copy combined with CI via Gitlab I can code wherever I am so long as I have my iPad.

Simply Perfection.. I have been doing mobile development from the iPad using "Working Copy" for source control, alongside "Swift Playgrounds" and "Textastic" and all three together has been simply awesome! This app is proof that programming and development is possible on the iPad and you can do it in style. I love it! 😀

A real pro tool for iOS. I wish I hadn't waited to so long to install Working Copy. It has all the the git tools I need including a basic text editor. The real magic is the integration with other apps. I can open a file from IA Writer or Textastic, make changes, and it is saved back to Working Copy ready to commit and push. Brilliant. The in app purchase price seems very reasonable to me for the value I get from using this app.

Excellent. Makes it easy to work on a Git repository on iOS.

Fantastic iOS SCM. Really fantastic, integrates well with the files app, is intuitive and super functional. A perfect companion to the various IDE’s available on iPadOS / iOS

Excellent app with features that continue to grow.. 1. **Intuitive Interface:** The app boasts a clean and user-friendly interface, which makes navigating through repositories a breeze, even for those new to version control systems. 2. **Powerful Integration:** Seamless integration with iOS shortcuts and various file providers enhances the coding experience on a mobile device, bridging the gap between desktop and mobile development. 3. **Advanced Features:** Support for advanced Git features, such as branching and merging, provides a comprehensive toolset for code management on the go. 4. **Regular Updates:** The developer's commitment to the app is evident through regular updates, introducing new features and maintaining compatibility with the latest iOS versions. 5. **Superior Support:** The responsive and helpful support contributes significantly to the overall positive experience, reflecting the developer's dedication to user satisfaction. Working Copy is an indispensable tool for developers who need to manage their Git repositories on iOS devices. It's a powerhouse of functionality that fits right into the mobile ecosystem.

More than I expected. I was initially after something that would just mirror up-to-date copies of my repos on my phone. Working Copy does that, pulls, pushes, branches, edits, and a whole lot of other things I wasn't really expecting. The only limitations are due to the small screen size, but that's not the app's fault!

A must have app. With Working Copy I’m able to get my job done from anywhere

Good, but careful about requirements. I purchased the "unlock all devices" when I got the app on my iPad Air 2, not realising it wouldn't work on my iPhone 4 stuck on iOS7. Contacted developer about my options with no reply.

An amazing piece of software. A must have for any homelabber, developer, IT person and so on. So many possibilities. Thank you.

Brilliant app. By far the best app that interacts with Github on iPhones.

Useless without the expensive in-app purchase. Poor UI and can't push a git repo without buying the $22 upgrade.

Amazing. This is just what I needed to fix an issue while sitting in the swimming pool. Instant purchase.

Excellent. Does everything I wanted in a Git client!!

Love the this app. true mobile code development, coupled with pythonista I can code feed my coding habit anytime

Excellent, portable access to repos. I have spent a little time with this app, and have found it very useful while travelling. The interface is very good and the functionality with GitHub and BitBucket seem to work well.

Perfect. It is simple to use for a Git beginner like me but full of features. Integrates with editing in Pythonista and other apps effortlessly. It’s exactly what I was looking for.

It works. And integrates with texttastic.. I find it very useful.

fantastic app - nothing else compares. i use this most days, super useful

It works well. This software works well. I like how I can use my PDF reader app to open a PDF stored in my repo in the working copy app, edit that PDF, and see the changes reflected automatically in my working copy. I also like how the working copy app can show comparison between previous and current version of my PDF with all the comments and highlights.

Great for on the go. I only use the basic features, however this app is great when I’m on the go and need to check some code before going into a client meeting.

Love It. I ‘ve been searching for IPad app to use github. I’ve found it here!

Better than most desktop clients!. This app is truly amazing. I was surprised how full-featured it is. Really well-made and thoughtful.

This app has been a game changer. This app has been a life saver a number of times now. On a daily basis I can blog using markdown comfortably when on the go.

Great Markdown editor with Git integration. iOS never felt like a great fit for any workflow based around nicely organised hierarchies of plain text documents, but Working Copy solves this problem beautifully. I’m using it as a native iOS interface with offline support for maintaining a Gollum wiki. I don’t normally bother writing app reviews, but I like this one so much I want to support the developer.

Brilliant product, UX can improve. The basics work perfectly as long as you know where to look for. Most of the git clients have this issue. Being a complicated command Git itself is, different people’s interpretation could vary slight thus the resulting workflows as well. Once you figure out your own this product suits well. Hence the five star. No subscriptions or nasty things to deal with but just the plain old you pay you use model and just works as the label says. Brilliant!

The best git client for iOS. This app is awesome. The ui isn’t the most beautiful but once you get past that it is very very useful. They clearly went for features over beauty in this one and I’m honestly grateful. However, the $30 for Pro is steep and honestly way more than I’m willing to pay, especially for something I’ll rarely use. I got Pro for free with the GitHub student dev pack but if it wasn’t for that, I wouldn’t have even considered this app as an option

Finally, a Git client for iOS.. Hope this is just the beginning of many updates for this app. Touch ID authentication (optional) for SSH private keys would be great.

Good app but $22 to unlock push is a rip off!. The app is pretty good if not the best git repository browsing tool. It has good features and the overall usage clean, easy and stable. The downside is that $22 bucks to unlock push is a rip off! Despite of how good the tool is, you have very limited opportunities to do real work on a mobile/tablet device, and to do minor/casual pushes, $22 bucks is a lot! I would buy it for $3 easily... But the author prefers to make more money by selling less & expensive than more & cheap.

Life Saver. You ever searched so hard for something but just couldn't find it? I was doing that until I stumbled upon Working Copy and it's push function.

Excellent app and support. I use this app everyday as part of my workflow. The support is gold star; email by return and even a minor issue resolved promptly.

Happy!. Awesome! Thanks heaps

Super useful for devs. This is one of the most useful app in my iPad so far. I will be upgrading to the fulll version very soon.

Finally, Git on iOS that doesn't suck. Awesome little app! The Git experience is great, the interface for commits and conflicts is well thought out. Don't expect to do much serious coding (as with any iOS app), but it is great for working with Markdown or small edits. I would really like the option to change the font while viewing and editing files, and the option to have more whitespace on the left and right sides, but otherwise nicely designed.

Awesome. Incredibly useful app for managing git repositories and doing development on the iPad :)

Fantastic app - shaving developer support. This is always being updated with substantial features. Really pushes the envelope for what can be done on an iOS device for serious work.

Works Like a Charm. Very happy with this app. I use repos every day for work and having a solution that works well on my iPad is simply massive. Great work Devs!

Amazing App - Very Reasonable Pricing. Pros: #Flexibility: SHARE FUNCTION -Copy to... Share function -Open in... Share function -Accepts a lot of file types -Works in free mode IPAD MULTITASK MODE #Functionality FREE VERSION -Ability to use entire app to pull only -All files accessible by other apps easily -Great repo flow -Ability to automatically generate and register SSH keys for Bit/Git. -Great list-view of available repos from both bit/git. -Easily clone new repos PAID VERSION -Ability to pull/push/sync -Very reasonable pricing for upgrade -Easily create new remotes from git to bitbucket and vice-versa -Initialize repos -Add/modify commit messages. #Summary The closest thing to SourceTree for iOS. Doesn't try to be both a feed AND a git client, and does it damn well. My only request would be the ability to create folders of or the ability to rename the references. Great job.

Well designed. Genius design. Scrolling is a bit weird and inconsistent when horizontal, but other than that it is easy to use.

Insanely GREAT. AMAZING I love it! I don’t think I’m going back to a laptop or desktop anymore.

Absolutely Fantastic. I can’t get over how fantastic this App is. I’ve been looking to move more and more of my development tasks to my iPad as I’m on the road a lot. Working Copy was the missing puzzle piece in my workflow, and with super-easy integration with Textstatic it’s a home run for basic dev. For now my iPad will not be replacing my MacBook Pro dev environment, but if you need to checkout something quick and make some fixes on the run, it’s indispensable. A great piece of software is always worth paying for, and Working Copy is not exception.

Seems to work pretty flawlessly. I wish there was a built in "add all, commit all, pull, push" button, but I guess I can make that in Shortcuts.

Amazing.. The best git client I’ve used. Desktop included.

Convenient app, responsive developer. As much as I try, I can’t do any real work on my ipad, but this app makes it so easy to perform any last-minute changes or little corrections to my git repo while I’m on the go. It’s dead simple to use, and setting up a SSH connection to my git repo was a breeze. The editor provides syntax highlighting for several languages, but there’s no autocomplete. I’m not a power mobile user by any means, but this app has found a special place in my programming toolbelt. On a separate note, if you noticed background activity in your battery settings, the developer has explained that this has something to do with a location logic in the Files app, and this app isn’t actually consuming any additional power. You can check this by tapping on the Working Copy icon in battery consumption, and it will show “-“, which means it’s using less than 1%. I really like that this app is actively maintained and that the developer is very responsive to feedback. I think the ratings speak for itself!

Any Black Friday deals available ?. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a thanksgiving discount?

Woo!. Love the Interface upgrade! If I can metaphorize IRL then I it’s easier for me to be an important part

An App of incredible quality. There is no fancy UI only pure thoughtful UX

its amayzing. i love everything on that app thanks to the howner

Tremendous. This app is amazing. Wonderful features, everything I’d want from a git client in iOS. Worth every penny.

I have to reclone every repo every time I format the iPad or sync to a new iPad. I have a large list of repositories and I tend to move cell phones quite often. Every time I install WorkingCopy I have to reclone all repositories every single time. What’s the point of iCloud Sync? There seems to be no way around this. Can you please help with this, I will be glad to change my review and update ratings. The app is amazing, except this one obviously huge limitation.

Brings repo to mobile. I just worked on documentation from the mobile and committed my work which is really appreciated (mobile capabilities, you know I code on my desk by waiting on the bus and formatting documentation, commit it, that's winner ;) ) Guillaume.

Love developers like this. Working copy is beautiful, effective and an example of what app development should be. The design is intuitive, functional, so well thought out. Favorite app on my phone.

Good, but needs work. [To the developer: I appreciate the thoughtful response, and I will certainly check out each update (if you’ll forgive a bad git joke).] This comes so close to being a great way to work on my iPad. ✅ Supports GitHub Enterprise. ✅ iCloud document provider (lets me work in Textastic; the built-in editor doesn’t cut it). ✅ Nice history graph. ✅ Excellent search (aka git grep). Unfortunately… ❌ No flat view of all changed files in one place. You have to manually navigate your entire folder hierarchy to each file. ❌ No staging & no stashes means I can’t change anything I don’t want in my next commit. I’m so used to having this freedom that I can never go back to being forced to work on only one thing at a time. It’s not feasible for me to commit three unrelated changes in the same branch because that’s not how professional developers work. Essentially, it takes too many steps to review changes, and there’s no way to manage which ones get committed. This app seems to get a lot of praise from writers (whose needs are so simplistic they could honestly just use Dropbox), but not a lot of developers (who actually know and use most of the features of git and GitHub). It just needs to handle a few key things better to become a truly viable way to work when I’m away from my Mac. Right now it’s got just barely enough to make it possible, but not what I’d call a great experience.

Cloning is disabled. My impression of the free app is that it’s basically useless. I won’t waste my time figuring out whether to buy the paid app.

Best Git client for iOS, incredible support. Working Copy is amazing. Devs need not worry anymore - it’s got the power! It supports Files in iOS, works with Textastic! About the only thing it doesn’t do is interactive rebase, but I’m like one of the 5 people that actually uses that.

Help. Please help

Totally awesome. This is where I want to work. And will eventually more here from Windows and Mac. This guy is an incredible programmer, it shows in the quality of this app. This is the future, being able to maintain code from mobile.

Update. Can you update it for current version of iOS

Everything you’d need for an iOS Git client. From design to implementation, this is a fantastic app.

Go ahead and buy this app. If you need a git client for iOS, this is your app. It is great, they keep adding features and fixing bugs. I could write a lot about its integrations, ease of use, power options, but you can just take a look yourself. If you are a serious git user, this is the best app you can get on iOS. I’ve used it with GitHub and AWS CodeCommit repositories without a hitch.

Worth it. Absolutely worth the cost of the license for me

The iOS app I dreamed of exists!. WorkingCopy is a dream. It’s a perfect marriage of git’s idiomatic workflows with iOS’s idiomatic workflows, and does everything I could wish for.

Amazing. I love this app. Seriously

Amazing!. The native iOS file system integration makes storing your files in git trivial for consumption by other iOS apps. This has been a dependable part of my iOS workflow for years.

Beautiful app. I can’t wait to buy this after my trial ends. Well done this app is superb!

Glory glory hallelujah. Our prayers have been answered and there’s a working beautiful git client for iOS now. 👏👏

A highly useful app for troubleshooting and reviewing code.. Special thanks to the developer for adding syntax highlighting for vhdl upon request.

Great for collaboration!. Seriously productivity brought to iPad and iPhone

Old issues have vanished!. Now that I can access all my repos since updating to iOS 11, this app is flawless. Thank you!

Really Great!. Gladly paid for the pro version of this app, it was exactly what i was looking for on a mobile platform.

Perfect. Excellent markdown editing. I can now edit my GitHub pages site directly from my phone. Great UX. Love this app.

One less reason to need a laptop. When this covid thing started and I had to work from home, I'd be lying around the house with an iPad and coding in Textastic. Then I'd sync over to another machine and run my commits from the command line. It was tedious, but then I learned about Working Copy and oh man! It's a first rate git client. Works fine with the usual suspects like github as well as private servers over ssh/https/whatever. Within the iPad world, it talks to just about anything like text editors, Pythonista, etc. In a pinch, the built-in editor is not too shabby either! And it's just so beautiful and slick! Makes you wanna code...

Don’t buy! Won’t return my money. Downloaded the pro to test something out. The test failed. Initiated refund and return within 4 business days. App Store says its not eligible for refund. At this point its just a money grabbing operation. I’m unclear if the dev is aware of this but this entire situation is just pathetic. I’m borderline sure they will also say that -“”oh this is buyers’ remorse “” at this point of time. Well I do have remorse that I could trust this app and the App Store.

Brilliant. This app is exactly what I was looking for. I don’t like git, I really don’t, but this makes it tolerable to use when I don’t have a computer handy. Well worth the cost!

Amazing, but can take up lots of space. Hi, this is an amazing piece of software. Congrats. I use it in my iPad to read code from OSS projects. It helps prevent the urge to go code or do something else than that. Two things I wished would be possible: 1. Shallow Clone Sometimes we only care about the last months of work. I'm keeping many projects that I follow and my storage is running thin. With git we can do --depth. Can working copy support this? 2. Bookmark 🔖 I flip between files and projects at their current revision. For example following vuex and vue (yeah, it's been a while now) I wish I could highlight a part of code and add a note, maybe link to another one done earlier. This could be a got repo sotting beside the repo, keeping track of the highlighted code, and maintain the bookmark as long as the highlighted code still there. Maybe I'm not seeing some complexity. Or just keep the bookmark when it changes, go to it at that state, and if we care still about that bookmark, we'd have to then find another place to anchor that comment or let it hang (losing notes might not be nice) Anyway. Keep it up!!

Trial version proves value, but w/o push, is useless (need $$ version). It works as advertised, but to unlock the "push" feature, you need to pay (over 20$, which I find too much). And what good is this without push? I'll keep searching for cheaper app.

Good. Best

Must have. Love the markdown preview mode, perfect on iPad.

What more can I say, its great!. This app is great. Does exactly what it says it does, git. Great wether you are using BitBucket or Github and it works flawlessly. Great job by the developers. Well done.

A COMPLETE mobile source control client. The developer behind this app clearly put in countless hours to create a COMPLETE source control mobile client that has all of the power of a desktop client (repo storage, custom graph viewer, commits, reverts, authentication methods (both ssh and https), remotes setup, cookies, repo creation (with file system if not emulated), repo cloning and cloud syncing

A vital tool for remote support. Being able to pull up repos and make quick changes when you’re on the road makes me very useful at work. Working Copy let’s me update in the field and it’s well worth the price.

Full-featured and reliable. Not many apps I have downloaded are as richly featured and dependable as this one. The passion of the developer really shines through. Thanks so much for Working Copy.

Solid, fast, well maintained. No trouble connecting to my self-hosted Gitea instance (and Github, Bitbucket before that). Integrates well with text editors. I’ve even made emergency changes while standing in an airport security line. Indie dev software at its best.

Not Just For Programmers!. Everyone can take advantage of git for TODO lists, notes, poetry... Working Copy is by far the best way to do that on the iPhone.

Perfect GitHub iOS App. Truly the best implementation to commit edits on the fly with an iPhone. By a dev for a dev. Awesome!

Just Amazing. Always works perfectly. Very intuitive interface even on a small screen. Outstanding features even in the free version.

Adsterra is the most preferred ad network for those looking for an alternative to AdSense. Adsterra is the ideal choice for new sites with low daily traffic. In order to advertise on the site in Adsterra, like other ad networks, a certain traffic limit, domain age, etc. is required. There are no strict rules. Sign up!

Excellent. Used daily. I use WorkingCopy every day, in conjunction with my articles using Codea Lua. WorkingCopy allows me all the source control I need. In the very rare cases where I've needed support, the author's help has been immediate and effective. Highly recommended.

Definitely worth the price for these quick edits.. I use git and bitbucket a lot! This app helps me stay connected while away from my keyboard. It is also much easier to send quick screenshots to GitHub than plugging in my phone all the time.

Git with the latest iOS features? Yep!. Setting up Working Copy to handle my Github repos - complete with new SSH and GPG key creation - was easy and intuitive. From there, using other apps to read/write to my repos was simple thanks to the Files integration! I never expected an app for iOS to work this well with the complexities of Git but this app does everything I need and more.

Amazing.. Powerful and beautifully-crafted. It lets me use my phone to store my work codebases on the go, and efficiently integrates with latest MacOS file sync. I was actually happy to pay for the extra features. So much functionality in one app!

perfect for sharing files to GitHub. This is not a full-scale editor, but since you can share to it from just any app, it makes for an easy way to make edits elsewhere and upload to git. I haven’t found anything else like it, so very grateful to have working copy as part of my workflow

This app is amazing. I don't use Working Copy very frequently, but almost every time I open it I discover something new that amazes me. Today, it was the hex editor. I don't know what I expected to see when I tapped on that binary file, but it certainly wasn't a hex editor. Thank you for providing such an excellent app, and continuing to keep it updated.

A full featured git clone. I have used the app for years for my development needs. It's freed me from working only when I'm in front of a computer and has allowed me to make a quick change on an errand, or produce a full web app in one sitting outside enjoying the air. I would highly recommend Working Copy to anyone who does web development especially.

Extremely responsive support from developer. I use Working Copy along with Textastic on my iPad. The combination makes a 5G iPad with a keyboard the ultimate mobile coding environment in my opinion. The developer actually responds to user feature requests and fixes bugs promptly.

Hands down one of the best apps.. I love how well it integrates with the Shortcuts app. I made a shortcut to get an input from typing, then transform the text and write it to Files, then have Working Copy pull from GitHub, stage the file, commit and sign, then push back to GitHub. Simple but powerful! Another thing that I love about this app is how well it integrates with GitHub. I was able to create and connect my new GPG and SSH keys to GitHub right inside the app, without opening any webpage / pasting. Gotta love it. Thanks for creating this tool!

Best Mobile Editor. No competition. Works when you must push out a fix while still on your phone away from a computer.

A must for developers. I can only say this is one of few apps that make iPad a pro machine for me. Btw any plans for a discount in the coming weeks?(l am planning on buying/gifting few copies to friends) Edit: yeah I saw it on Twitter few days ago and bought three copies and it/they were well received. Thank you, man. And can’t wait for the next big release.

Finally gave in. I’ve been tempted to buy this from time to time for years, but now that I’ve switched my journaling system entirely to markdown and Git, it has become essential. I use this app’s text editor to edit my journal on the go, and I can even view how it looks in Markdown from that same screen!

Absolute lifesaver. My laptop is being repaired and I need to be able to update repositories for work without a loaner computer. The interface is elegant and easy to use, with a lot of flexibility. Excellent work.

Best repository reader/writer/commit. GitHub is great but only when paired with the additional documentation and functionality provided by Working Copy. All you have to do in order to clone a GitHub repository is to add the repository to your “starred” folder on GitHub - then just open up working copy, set up your own SSHkey which is a simple automated process - then start cloning your favorite repositories from GitHub.

5/5. I cant deny that this app is fantastic. I am very happy I found it. The only annoying thing is how it asks you to pay for the full version. Still. I Couldnt have dreamed for a better app. It just works, and works well.

The best Git client out there. I’ve had the pro version of this app for about 4 years now and it is still the best git client out there. It’s constantly updated and improved upon and the upgrade model is great! It doesn’t force you to pay an upgrade fee if you don’t want to but the option is there if you do. Keep up the awesome work!

Nearly Perfect. This app has changed the way I work on projects and is more than worth paying for. I have one small feature request, it would be nice to have a way to organize the repositories in the main view. I.e., users can create folders for repos and change the order that folders/repos are listed. Thanks!

Powerful & Depdendable. I use it all the time. It never fails. Even when things go wrong, there are workarounds. The developers are always on top of things, constantly updating the app. It’s become a critical part of my workflow on any iOS device. Working Copy 2024

It is so cool that they allow the student package from GitHub. First off shoutout to GitHub and all their sponsors including Working Copy for giving their premium services to students for free! Great app so far haven’t noticed any bugs. A little hard to navigate but other than that nothing bad!

Great functionality. This app makes it so easy to work with my Git repositories on iOS. The functionality's every bit as good as I'd get from my laptop. It's so nice to be able to make changes on the go.

Recursive Cloning?. Hi, I’m pretty new to iOS. I’m super happy that Working Copy exist and that it works very well. I do have one question though. Does working copy do submodules? Maybe you already can and I just can’t find the setting? Edit: I found it! Thanks for supporting this! Much appreciated!

Absolutely amazing. Better that any desktop experience.. I rely on this software daily for years. Actively developed and more important actively maintained! I wish all software was built this well. The developer is super responsive. I couldn’t ask for a better GIT experience.

Amazing mobile git client. I’ve used this app for years with its Pro features unlocked near the beginning. Eventually some pro features are not unlocked with my original purchase, but all of the important ones are which I greatly appreciate. Just want to mention again how useful I find this 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 ‘issues’ and ‘projects’ 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.

What I Needed to Do Work on an iPad. Full disclosure, I’m not a big coder, I’m a terrible generalist. That said, holy crap, this is everything I wanted it to be. I just wanted a markdown editor where I could publish Jekyll and maybe do some other light coding. I wanted to take notes in a format like Sublime Text. And this does that. The preview feature for markdown makes this perfect.

Great App, Pro is Worth the Price. In my search for a good mobile git workflow, nothing has been able to touch working copy. Easy to use and incredibly practical (for cases where you need to make some small tweaks on the go, at the very least).

One of the most useful apps on my iPad. It allows me to use git, it's updated all the time with innovative, useful features, and the developer is super helpful and responsive. Well worth the money, and the sales model allows me to support development without being locked into a subscription. One of the best.

Excellent App. Does exactly what I need it to do. I’ve used this app every day since I’ve downloaded it to work on different projects and branches where sitting at the computer either isn’t an option or not as effective. The developer even went above and beyond and added syntax highlighting for a language in a week. Worth every penny.

Great but confusing. This app is and has always been super polished, works really well (except the users guide) and all was well and good. I’m knocking off a star however since this latest update has confused me, apparently I have all the latest features or whatever but now you have to buy updates? I mean I guess they didn’t used to be there before but this purchase model confuses me.

Excellent app. I'm thrilled that I can view commits, make my own changes, and push them to the repo from my phone now. It's great for when I'm travelling or when I'm not at my computer and my client or dev team needs me for something.

Amazingly useful. I think the usefulness of this app is highly understated. I do a lot of writing and documentation in markdown and this app lets me work with my repos, compose markdown and preview all in one place. I use it for scripting as well, and absolutely love it. It’s not just for git!! Keep up the great work.

Fantastic iOS git client. Conceptually, git doesn’t really map to the interface of iOS or iPadOs. It’s a command line first application and creating a visual interface on any platform has been challenging for years, whether that’s on Windows or Mac or built into IDEs, and it feels particularly true for a primarily touch based OS. Working Copy is easily the best visual git client I’ve used on any platform. It will take a little getting used to but I use it every single day across devices.

Awesome product!. Exactly what I was looking for: a way to edit and commit git files from my phone. I love the color scheme, too - a big deal since I’m planning to use this for many hours. I didn’t think twice about paying for the pro version; totally worth it.

Great so far. I’ve only used it a month. I sync Codea projects with it. It is a pleasure though. In fact it’s my favorite git UI of any I’ve used, even on desktops. It’s thought out and intuitive. I even paid for the upgrade, not because I need any of the pro features, but because I want to support good development like this.

Beginner-level dev. I am just getting back into web dev after two decades away. I am blown away by how impressive the experience is working within this application. It's almost as if this was designed by Apple themselves. I will happily pay for the annual pro unlock if it keeps this app up-to-date.

Absolutely Essential. I find this program to do everything you need for coding on a mobile device. Easily connect to multiple providers, hundreds of repos. I enjoy the ability to make edits and compare branches while on commute to work. Excellent work. I really enjoy it.

Completes the iOS development loop. Working copy allows me to seamlessly hand off coding projects between my iPhone, iPad and laptops through git hub commits and pushes. Using working copy is more robust than relying on a cloud file service to keep your changes up to date when editing in an app such as Textastic. Solid app that allows iOS devices to aid bigger projects.

Instantly integral to my workflow. This is an amazingly-capable git implementation on iOS. Yes, that’s just re-stating the product description, but it’s also the most extraordinary part of this app. Working Copy has single-handedly turned my iPad from a sort of fun thing to read or watch movies on into a highly-flexible part of my productivity workflow. For example: using Obsidian and Working Copy, I can move between my iPad, iPhone, Linux desktop and laptop and remain in complete parity re: data and crucial features. I very happily paid the full amount for this app. Probably the most expensive one I’ve ever bought, but EASILY worth it. Thanks!

Very Well Designed. All too often developers consider UI/UX as more of an afterthought than an integral element of their software. I love that this developer kept it clean, simple, and used the iOS standard graphics. It makes the experience so much more pleasant and productive. On top of that, it seems like he really cares about making the best git client possible. Very refreshing.

Great git capable markdown editor!. Open Copy makes it easy to edit remote hosted git repos on my phone. The interface makes it easy to commit/push/pull/etc. The syntax highlighting for markdown is good. The markdown preview supports relative reference links to other files in the repo, making it easy to navigate my notes.

Functionality and Updates are over the top. I’m not going to write a two page report of the details ... but will provide a simply overview that the app developer is aiming for perfection. This git repo app works fantastic - functionality is over the top. Very nice interface !!! Very nice editor. And support of other great editors on these file is very good - Textastic for example ( although I like to edit files in Working Copy with the new iVim - made possible through the “Open with” iOS option - which is great !!!) Btw ... this was the only repo that worked with a predefined necessary port number that has to be declared. 5 stars all the way !!!

Rivals desktop solutions. You don’t realize how powerful and versatile this app is until you start exploring all the functionality. The layout and color coding makes everything easy to comprehend. I also love having the built in editor. Repo cloning is really fast and seamless. I can see this app being super useful when I am traveling or commuting. Well done!

The best of iOS but.... This is a rare example of a mobile app that doesn't overly dilute functionality. It is genuinely powerful and immensely useful. It is among the very best apps on the platform. That being said 1. I think the help documentation is a bit outdated and sparse in a few places. It's substantial, but there are gaps that be lead to misunderstanding and frustration. 2. I have had repos get magically duplicated when doing work on the go (where network access can be off and on). To be clear, however, it has never lost any data. If your the way you make a living involves git, then this app is worth paying for.

Overpowered as hell. Hey Working Copy devs. This app is amazing! I’ve used the pro features free trial for almost a week now and I don’t regret using this app at all. Feels a lot powerful switching from Git2Go to Working Copy because there are a lot more features and tools to work with, especially with the integration of Dash. Keep up the good work!

Does not work properly with iOS file system. Files checked out in Working Copy are unavailable to any other application including inbuilt iOs 11 Files Manager, it just shows blank folder when I try to access files controlled by Working Copy. Trying to access Working Copy files glitches those apps so much that they need to be restarted to work properly again. I don't know what is the issue but it renders Working Copy only half as useful if I can’t edit files with an external editor.

All you could hope for!. I was looking for an application that would allow me to commit from my phone in case I was away from my computer. So happy to have found us, the developer did an incredible job. Didn’t hesitate a moment to pay for the pro features.

Absolute game-changer. This app is incredibly well-made, the integration with every part of iPadOS is remarkable, & it’s completely critical to my workflow. Design could use a bit of polish in places but it’s so unbelievably useful I barely notice. If you use GitHub/etc, get this app.

Sets the Bar.... Anders has set the bar for implementation of remote file access using iOS with his two Apps: "Shellfish" and "Working Copy". Both provide excellent online/offline access to files - each purpose built for a specific protocol (SSH and Git respectively). These two Apps are now my go-to for full function file access at home and on the move. Brilliant!

Quite nice for on the go.. Slick application. Quite intuitive. The only thing that bothers me is the lack of customization. I would like to be able to install color schemes or at least have more to choose from than “light” and “dark”.

There’s a reason why this app has a nearly perfect rating. This application is a power tool for power users, and it delivers. When I’m away from the command line or from the excellent Magit interface for Emacs, Working Copy is the best there is.
