Clone - Git client advanced Reviews

by Joe-Dan C

This software is abandonware. It is not supported.

After paying 9.99 for the ability to push for git, it spontaneously stopped allowing me to edit documents. Everything is read only.

This could easily be my mistake, so I wrote to the support address. No answer.

Pro-tip: if you app fails on the market and it isn’t profitable to support it, take it off the store. Leaving it up is fruadulant.

Can’t use general git repositories. Can’t use gitlab.

Used to work great but about a month ago my GitHub repos stopped working in Clone . Contacted support and haven’t heard anything after 3-4 weeks.

Thank you!

It does appear to be abandoned, sadly.

tried to pull any of my repositories from GitHub. Successfully “connected” to github, created keys, but when I try to this app it repeatedly asks for username/password and fails to work. With the generated, and verified property registered keys, it shouldn’t even be asking for credentials. I’ve been using git for just over fifteen years, so I can say with a fair degree of certainty… Clone doesn’t work.

This does what it says, and does a good job of it. I was able to this app repos and modify files with no issues. However, the ability to push commits is a separate IAP, which makes no sense - what's the purpose of having a Git tool that can't push changes?
Unfortunately I found that out too late, after make sizable changes to an important document. Thankfully I was able to copy the text over RDP, but I won't be using this again.

Missing functionality to fetch remote tags and checkout them out locally.

this app has good design sense and is nearly perfect in the UI for basic tasks and having your stuff with you and editable, but misses some bigger features. I don't mind and am happy.

I'm a long-time coding hobbyist and am now studying at a boot camp. Clone makes it easy to this app a repo to your device, mess with it in a syntax-smart editor and run your changes.

At first I thought it was auto-enabling gh_pages but the changes are run locally.

I prefer this UX to GitHubs OS X app.

Has the very basic features we need to access git repositories. It would be great to implement missing features brought up by other reviews, yet worth the 5-stars at its current condition.

Easy to use.

With this app, everything is where I expect it to be, and I'm surprised at how much git stuff I can get done. I've tried all the other git clients, but many of their features are hidden in weird places. this app is intuitive.

I can edit my website and push it to GitHub or work on small python apps and push to heroku. I can also make small changes in bigger projects, very handy. The markdown preview is pretty nice, and I love the subway map

There's some room for improvement (can't find/replace inside a file or change fonts/styles) but I can use other text editors like textastic to get that done, so it's not a huge deal.

I mainly use this app to keep up with changes when I'm away from my office and love it for that!

Only feature I would like is to specify a name during this app (or rename once cloned). The name ends up matching the git repo from the this app URL and sometimes that is a non-project name such as "src" or "git"

Clone is incredibly polished and featureful, and it blows the other git apps I've tried away in the style and Applesque departments. Such a shame it had to be abandoned. Maybe a better selection of the "pay" features could have helped. For example, I have little interest in editing or pushing, but would happily pay for the ability to search within files, or to have a function index menu, or see commit logs (part of free now)...
