Popular development platform GitHub offers an
<https://9to5mac.com/2020/03/17/github-iphone-ipad-app/> app for iPhone and
iPad that allows users to manage code from anywhere. But if youve missed
compatibility with a specific Apple device, you no longer need to worry
about it. <https://watchgit.com/> WatchGit is a new third-party client for
GitHub that lets you access the platform from your wrist with the Apple
Watch.
Of course, the app is not focused on offering development tools on Apple
Watch. Instead, you can manage certain content of your GitHub account
without having to take your iPhone out of your pocket.
And if youre wondering why someone would use GitHub on a smartwatch,
developer Damian Mehers explains that WatchGit can be useful for those
moments when you have a new idea but your phone isnt around. If you dont
always have your phone with you, for example when out running or walking,
and you have a brilliant idea for a new feature you can simply raise your
wrist and use Siri to create an issue in a repository from your cellular
Apple Watch. You can also easily triage issues, assign issues, like issues,
etc. without pulling out your phone.
With WatchGit, you can create, reply, assign, close, and label issues on
your GitHub account. Once youve downloaded the app and logged in through
your iPhone, you can use it on Apple Watch as a standalone app. The app is
also compatible with Siri, so users can ask for things like Hey Siri,
create a note in WatchGit.
WatchGit is
<https://apps.apple.com/us/app/watchgit/id1515780045#?platform=appleWatch>
available on the App Store for just $0.99. It requires an iPhone running iOS
13.2 and an Apple Watch running watchOS 6.1 or later.
