About GitHub Mobile

GitHub Mobile is available as an Android and iOS app.

GitHub Mobile gives you a way to do high-impact work on GitHub quickly and from anywhere. GitHub Mobile is a safe and secure way to access your GitHub data through a trusted, first-party client application.

With GitHub Mobile you can:

  • Manage, triage, and clear notifications
  • Read, review, and collaborate on issues and pull requests
  • Edit files in pull requests
  • Search for, browse, and interact with users, repositories, and organizations
  • Receive a push notification when someone mentions your username
  • Secure your GitHub.com account with two-factor authentication
  • Verify your sign in attempts on unrecognized devices

For more information about notifications for GitHub Mobile, see "Configuring notifications."

Installing GitHub Mobile

To install GitHub Mobile for Android or iOS, see GitHub Mobile.

Managing accounts

You can be simultaneously signed into mobile with one personal account on GitHub.com and one personal account on GitHub Enterprise Server. For more information about our different products, see "GitHub's products."

GitHub Enterprise Server uses background fetch to support push notifications without sending your information to a third-party service, so you may experience a delay in receiving push notifications.

GitHub Mobile may not work with your enterprise if you're required to access your enterprise over VPN.

Prerequisites

You must install GitHub Mobile 1.4 or later on your device to use GitHub Mobile with GitHub Enterprise Server.

To use GitHub Mobile with GitHub Enterprise Server, GitHub.com must be version 3.0 or greater, and your enterprise owner must enable mobile support for your enterprise. For more information, see "Managing GitHub Mobile for your enterprise" in the GitHub Enterprise Server documentation.

During the beta for GitHub Mobile with GitHub Enterprise Server, you must be signed in with a personal account on GitHub.com.

Adding, switching, or signing out of accounts

You can sign into mobile with a personal account on GitHub Enterprise Server. At the bottom of the app, long-press Profile, then tap Add Enterprise Account. Follow the prompts to sign in.

After you sign into mobile with a personal account on GitHub Enterprise Server, you can switch between the account and your account on GitHub.com. At the bottom of the app, long-press Profile, then tap the account you want to switch to.

If you no longer need to access data for your personal account on GitHub Enterprise Server from GitHub Mobile, you can sign out of the account. At the bottom of the app, long-press Profile, swipe left on the account to sign out of, then tap Sign out.
