Working Copy

Welcome to Working Copy, a full-featured Git client for iOS. 🎂

Git is a powerful system and can take some time to master. The same is true for this application and even though you will not need to work with the command-line, some understanding of Git is needed. If you are not confident with the core concepts of Git you should read the first few chapters of Pro Git by Scott Chacon.

My goal has been to make a interface that is suitable for touch, works well with other applications on your device and can take part in a work-flow where much development is done on traditional computers. If Working Copy turns out to allow more people to use Git, this is a positive side-effect, but the primarily focus is on letting existing Git users work on iOS.

I have made things a little more convenient for GitHub, BitBucket, GitLab and Gitea users but you can use any modern Git hosting service or your own Git server.

You will be able to access files inside Working Copy from other apps if they support the system document picker or document browser and many other integration points are supported as well.

If you like Working Copy and want it to prosper and improve, you should tell people about it. Praise it in a App Store review, on Mastodon or over lunch with friends and co-workers. Development is self-financed. Most of the time Working Copy is bringing in enough revenue to pay my bills allowing me to work full time at full speed. Unfortunately I sometimes need to spend time doing contracting work slowing down Working Copy development.

You can delete this repository from the Status and Configuration screen or from the context menu.

If you have questions you can check out the Users’ guide and if the app is misbehaving or missing critical features write me at anders@workingcopy.app.
