Description
Access Git repositories on the go. Clone, edit, commit and push while allowing other apps access to repositories.
Git is a important part of our work-life and iOS can take part in this. The ability to commit even when offline has added utility on a device that moves in and out of network coverage. Cloning repositories gets you a local copy on your iOS device with commits for all branches. You can browse the content from within the app and make changes. Other applications supporting the Files app, WebDAV or x-callback-url has access to these files. Changes made can be committed and the commits can in turn be pushed back to the remote.
The idea of doing significant programming on iOS might seem far fetched when you are used to a large screen, a physical keyboard and a full IDE. But just as it turned out that not every email is serious prose, then not everything that goes on in Git is significant programming. Sometimes you just want to update a TODO file or make adjustments to your Jekyll site. Sometimes you just need to add a file the designer sent after hours.
If you ever make reminders about small things to do with the code-base, then you should give Working Copy a try. You will spend less time moving stuff around and you will get much better commit messages when you write them for fixes that are still fresh in your mind. You won't be leaving your computer behind any time soon, but sometimes it is faster to just fix things with the device in your hand.
When you do need to perform real work on iOS, Working Copy is a powerful tool. Editor has syntax highlighting for more than 50 programming languages and a built-in color picker. Preview images, Markdown and HTML files with a Javascript console pointing to errors in your code. Create new branches and merge or rebase them back, with a brilliant merge-tool for handling conflicts. If you need to automate your work there are Working Copy actions in the Shortcuts app for most operations.
Even if you never edit a line of code on iOS, Working Copy is a great companion for reviewing and discussing code. Repositories are cross indexed and with powerful fuzzy search you can quickly jump from a symbol to the declaration or reverse from the declaration to all usages. A graph of your commits lets you zoom out for a overview of the commit tree or zoom in for specifics about each commit, with speed and beauty you won’t find in desktop Git applications. Review the changes your files have gone through with a diff viewer that is great for text and images. There is even hex-dump mode for that obscure occasion.
Working Copy is a free download but you need to unlock pro features such as the ability to push commits and manage more than 5 repositories. There is no venture capital, large company or ads funding development and your support through in-app purchase directly sustains development.
When you pay to unlock you get permanent access to all pro features at the time of purchase as well as any added the next year. When 12 months have passed you keep all existing pro features but any new ones introduced are locked until you renew your unlock.

Exceptional support
Every time I've had an issue, and that's only been two or three times in several years, I've been blown away by Anders's responsiveness. As a result, I'm a dedicated fan.
Updates
Every time you push an update it breaks the sync with Files.
Ugh
Extremely confusing UI/UX and required subscription to push to remote repo.
Quite simply fantastic!
The best app I’ve ever used on an iPhone and one of the most useful to me! I love and recommend it every chance I get!
incredibly buggy
super clunky UI, needs usability fixes, many features missing. Fetching and pulling from large repositories leads to progress bars stuck with no explanation. Hiding the logs view doesn't remove it from the screen, but sticks it at the top as a an unreadable line of 5 pixels height at the top.
Fantastic
Ready for anything
Great app, but £18 is too much
I’ve been using this app for perhaps a year now, and since then it has been free to stage commits from my iPad, absolutely no problem! The app is clear and intuitive, buttery smooth to use, and integrates very well with the iPad, so normally I would recommend it to anyone who intends to write code on the go. But recently they’ve decided to charge £18 for a feature set that used to be free, and so now I’ve unsuspectingly started a new project on my iPad, thinking that I can just send it to GitHub, but now there’s a paywall out of nowhere. It frustrates me when developers do this. I understand that there has to be some give and take between the developer and the end user, but not like this. It’s the same feeling as receiving a present, only to find 6 months down the line that you now have to either pay for it or return it. If it were slightly cheaper (say £4.99), was crowdfunded like some other programming apps or the developer decided to place ads within the app, I could accept it, but a full £18 is past the threshold for me, so unfortunately I will not be using this app any more.
Life-changing, for me
Together with a couple of other apps, Working Copy has meant that I can travel without a laptop. That's a really significant win for me. Yes, it costs money but yes, that money is very, very worth it. This is just a great, great tool. A week ago my ancient macbook expired, so until yesterday when the new one was built I was keeping a bunch of stuff up to date via iPad and Working Copy. Without it things would have been seriously painful. So it hasn't saved my life but it has turned what would have been a very unpleasant experience to a mildly annoying one.
Absolutely brilliant
I wish I had found this sooner, such a good app. Exactly what I needed to edit code on the fly. It also works with Azure DevOps Repos! Wish I could give it 10 stars!
