GitHub on Android: for keeping projects moving

GitHub is the mobile companion for developers, open-source contributors, and software teams who need to follow work away from a desktop. It connects you with repositories, issues, pull requests, notifications, and discussion threads, so you can check progress and respond without opening a full development environment.

What you can do

• Review project activity: Browse repositories, inspect files, and keep up with changes across your projects.
• Handle issues: Read and respond to issues, assign work, and use labels to keep tasks organised.
• Work with pull requests: Review code changes, join discussions, and merge changes when the situation calls for it.
• Stay on top of notifications: See mentions, updates, and replies in one place instead of searching through separate conversations.
• Join the conversation: Reply to comments and use reactions in both public and private project spaces.

A useful second screen, not a replacement for coding tools

The app is best for triage, review, communication, and quick reference. It can help you decide which issue needs attention or whether a pull request is ready, but it is not intended to replace an IDE for writing and testing substantial amounts of code. That makes it a practical fit for maintainers, team leads, and contributors who need project visibility between longer desktop sessions.

Why it earns a place on your phone

With a 4.58875 rating from 122,028 reviews and more than 10,000,000 installs, GitHub is a widely used choice in the Productivity category. The developer is GitHub, which also keeps the app closely tied to the platform it represents. Choose it if your work depends on GitHub and you want a clear way to follow decisions, requests, and project changes when your computer is not nearby.
