What the Android app covers and who it is for
This is the Android app for GitHub, the code hosting and collaboration service. The developer describes it for smaller tasks that do not need a full development setup, such as commenting on a design discussion or looking over a few lines of code. It covers notifications, issues, pull requests, labels, projects and repository files.
It suits developers, reviewers and maintainers who need to stay on top of a project when they are away from a computer. The listing frames it as a way to keep a team in touch and to move work forward from wherever you happen to be.
Keeping up with notifications and conversations
The notifications list shows your latest activity so you can see what has come in since you last checked. From there you can open an issue or pull request thread and read it in full.
Within a thread you can add a reaction or post a reply. The listing treats these as the basic ways to take part in a discussion from the phone.
Reviewing and merging pull requests
The app lets you review pull requests and merge them without opening a desktop browser. The listing presents this as one of its main purposes, alongside commenting and triage.
Merging is listed as something you can do directly in the app, so a short review can end with the change going into the codebase on the same device.
Organizing and triaging issues
Issues can be sorted with labels, assignees and projects. These are the same organizing tools used on the web, brought to the phone for quick passes over a backlog.
The developer names issue triage as a core task. In practice that means reading new reports, tagging them, and assigning them to the right person from a mobile screen.
Browsing repository files and code
You can browse the files and code in your repositories. This is useful for checking a file or finding a line that a discussion refers to, without cloning the project to a computer.
Code browsing sits alongside the review tools, so the file you are reading can be the same one a pull request is changing.
