By Dennis Reimann
Open iTunes to buy and download apps.
Description
GitHub in your pocket: The best way for staying up to date with what's going on in your projects and catching up with the open source ecosystem.
iOctocat has a full-blown feature set, if you are looking for something in particular, see the list below or the website at http://ioctocat.com
Be sure to follow the project on Twitter or App.net (@iOctocat) to be informed about what features will be added soon and when new versions ship!
So, without further ado, here's what the app can do for you:
*** Activity Feeds and Profiles ***
• See what's up with repositories you watch and users you follow
• User and organization profiles including repositories, gists, etc. (organizations in Basic version)
• Follow users
*** Repositories ***
• Quick access to your public repos (private ones in Basic version)
• Star, watch or fork repositories
• See the code and recent commits of the different branches, the README, issues and forks
• Code viewer with lots of nice themes, so you can see the code in all of its beauty
• Your star- and watchlist
*** Commits ***
• Detailed information about the files that were added, removed and modified
• Browse the changes of the modified files viewing colored diffs
• Comment on commits and even diff lines
*** Issues and Pull Requests ***
• Open, close or edit issues - merge pull requests on the go
• Issue and pull request discussion/commenting
• List of issues across your repositories
*** Gists ***
• Access to your public, private and starred gists
• Browse them the same way you can explore repositories
• Of course you can comment on gists, too
*** Search and Trending Repositories ***
• Look up users and repositories
• See the list of trending repositories per language
These are the major features, plus lots more and counting.
The app is rapidly improved with new feature additions as the GitHub API gets extended.
Here are some more niceties:
• Works with GitHub's Two-Factor Authentication
• Works with Personal Access Token Authentication
• Username, issue, and emoji completion (as seen on GitHub) plus Markdown shortcuts
• Get notified about GitHub status warnings
• Open almost every GitHub.com URL in iOctocat, by prefixing it with ioc:// instead of https://
• 1Password integration (can be used when adding an account)
What's New in Version 2.9.0
iPad Bugfixes and performance improvements.
Customer Reviews
Likely phishing attack
Appears to be a phishing attack.
Immediately after downloading and opening the app, I was presented with a pop-up. It said that it was missing an app receipt, and asked for Apple Store credentials so that it could properly handle updates in the future.
It seems unlikely that this is an actual error from Apple. I tried re-downloading the app and opening it again, and I got the same error. Other apps that I downloaded had no problems starting up.
Need Bitbucket support
Works fine on github. Paid for the pro upgrade only to discover that, unlike many other iOS clients, this one can't login to my Bitbucket server. Not pleased.
App receipt problem
On launch the app reports a problem with the app receipt and then asks for iTunes credentials. Some signing problem perhaps?
