Is Git client - Working Copy not working / having issues for you?

Version 6.8.3 24 April 2026

Cycle between recent prompts in Repository Agent with up/down arrows on external keyboard.
Exporting PDF while in Preview mode captures the rendered preview instead of the editor text.
Includes enhancements from latest versions:
Ask Repository Agent to browse files, search content, read and modify files, commit, pull and push. It works with the on-device Apple Intelligence model on iOS 26 with suitable hardware or with external LLM services including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google and Ollama using your own API keys. Configure in AI Settings where AI features are opt-in per repository to avoid leaking sensitive information.
Repositories have icons auto-detected from project images and remote avatars. Tap the icon on the Status & Configuration screen to customize with another file from the repository, clipboard contents, photos library, or image files.
Switch away from Working Copy during Git operations and have them continue in the background. Clone, Fetch, Pull & Push operations show progress as Live Activities. This requires iOS 26.
AI commit message suggestions can use your own API keys or service such as your self-hosted Ollama model instead of the Working Copy service. Configure this in AI Configuration > Commit Messages where you pick service, model and customize prompts..

SSH detail screen has mechanism to sign user provided data as this is sometimes required to prove key ownership.

Version 6.3.4 17 June 2025

This is the last version of Working Copy for iOS 16 where next update will require at least iOS 17, which is necessary as testing focus switches to future versions of iOS.
Improvements to syntax highlighting of **bold** and *italics* in Markdown.
AI completions supports Anthropic and Ollama endpoints with easier configuration for Google Gemini. You can pick models from a drop down menu but not every model is useful for text completions. Very simple models are unable to understand completion instructions and thinking models take too long to produce completions.
You configure AI completions in Settings and to avoid leaking information to 3rd party APIs you have to opt in individual repositories..

Syntax highlighting for Zig.
List References action in Shortcuts app can be configured to Resume when pattern doesn't match anything making it easier to check if a branch/tag exists.

This requires an M-series processor iPad..

Version 6.1.5 08 October 2024

Improvements to how BitBucket hosting providers work when username is baked into Address field.
Includes improvements from 6.0.7:
Amend the latest commit from the Commit dialog instead of creating a new commit.
You will only be able to push as part of an amend if the original commit hasn’t been pushed previously or is at the head of the remote branch. These conditions are checked when enabling both Amend & Push.
Commit amend is a pro feature available to users who have purchased or upgraded their Pro Unlock within the last 12 months.
Shortcuts actions to Commit can be configured to fail without stopping Shortcut itself..

Version 6.0.5 12 July 2024

Improvements to UI when customising text editor color themes.
Specify system prompt for AI Completion when using GPT-4.0
Includes improvements from last update:
New pro feature available to everyone that purchased or upgraded the pro unlock within the last year:
Customize color themes for syntax highlighting from the popup where you change editing mode. Switch between built-in themes, make your own and trade with friends as color themes can be shared as small json files.
A preview of your current file is shown when configuring making it clear how colors map for a particular file type being syntax highlighted. Theme choices are remembered by file type and whether the app is in light or dark mode.
List checkboxes in Markdown, org-mode and AsciiDoc are no longer toggled when tapped as it could misinterpret attempts to move cursor. Instead the Copy/Paste menu is shown with a choice to Toggle checkbox.
AI completion uses gpt-4o instead of gpt-4-turbo when configured for GPT-4..

Version 6.0.1 13 May 2024

When creating linked repositories from the + button either a Directory or Document Package can be picked. It was previously only possible to link to Document Packages using drag-and-drop. This makes it easier to configure links to Swift Shortcuts and Codea projects.
When setting up linked repositories where the picked folder doesn't already contain a .git directory one will be created. To avoid confusing other apps this .git folder is stored outside the picked folder even though storing them in-place is nicer.
Working Copy now looks at the picked folder to see if this is a Codea project, Swift playground, Obsidian vault or Logseq document to store the .git directory in-place since these apps are not confused by this.
Shortcuts action to Get Repository Files can filter to only include conflicted files which can be used as an easy way to check if a repository has unresolved conflicts.
Fixes bug in shortcuts Commit action such that it no longer stages conflicted files when set to commit all modifications. Instead it will fail until conflicts have been resolved.
Fix application freeze that could happen when opening links from Markdown previews while using Stage Manager..

Version 5.9.6 26 February 2024

Support for IPv6 addresses in SSH Upload & SSH Command. You need to wrap addresses in square brackets to include custom port..

Version 5.8.8 16 December 2023

Version 5.7.8 02 October 2023

Version 5.6.1 04 April 2023

Configure stash buttons on the navigation bar in iPadOS 16 by picking Customize Toolbar from the (...) menu. iPhone users can stash from the repository context menu as always.
Working Copy correctly restores your location at launch inside linked external repositories. Part of the improvement happens when exiting Working Copy so you might get one last launch that forgets your location..

Version 5.5.2 31 January 2023

Improved error messages when checking GitHub student status..

Version 5.3.8 28 November 2022

Editor uses TreeSitter for incremental syntax highlighting when editing Java, OCaml, LaTeX and Lua.
You should notice syntax highlighting being available immediately when files of this type are opened
and that highlighting colours update without delay as you type.
TreeSitter support will be added to more languages in the next few updates. I'm intentionally holding back the most popular languages to expose fewer people to potential bugs missed during testing.
Avoid flickering of status when moving file into folder and renaming it.
Improved auto detection for Gitea hosting providers..
