What can you do with GitHub Mobile?
  • Search and discover
    • Quickly search for users, repositories, issues, or pull requests and jump to the exact resource you need.
  • Participate in issues and pull requests
    • Read, comment, and participate in conversations on issues and pull requests.
    • Leave reviews (approve, request changes, or comment).

  • Account security and sign-in verification
    • Approve sign-ins and respond to two-factor authentication (2FA) prompts from your phone, and confirm suspicious sign-in attempts to keep your account secure.
  • Work-life balance features
    • Set custom quiet hours or working hours for push notifications so alerts are delivered only during times you choose.
