I’ve been using GitHub Mobile for a while, and here are some tips that help me stay productive: Issues & PR Management: Use labels and milestones directly from the app to quickly categorize issues. Assign issues/PRs while on the go so you don’t have to remember later. Code Reviews: Use the “Files changed” view to comment line by line. Approving PRs is secure as long as you have 2FA enabled. Notifications & Triage: Set filters for notifications (e.g., only @mentions or assigned issues). Star important repos to prioritize updates. Project Boards & Discussions: You can move cards and add comments on boards, though bulk edits are easier on desktop. Following key discussions via notifications helps you stay in the loop without opening the full app each time. 📌 Extra tip: Dark mode + split-screen on tablets makes reviewing large PRs easier. Screenshots help a lot too if you want to share your workflow. Overall, mobile works best for quick triage and small reviews, while heavier edits are easier on desktop. |

For GitHub Mobile, the single most valuable thing is to treat it as a triage and lightweight‑review tool, not your main dev environment. Best overall practice This keeps you responsive to important issues and PRs without drowning in noise. Combined with quick actions (Done, Save for later, Unsubscribe), you stay organized on the go and leave deep reviews and coding for your laptop. If you apply just this—tight notification filters plus fast triage—you’ll feel the biggest productivity and stress‑reduction win on mobile. |

Managing issues and pull requests on the go becomes extremely efficient with the GitHub Mobile app because it turns key repository workflows into lightweight, action-first interactions. I use the following approach to stay productive:
GitHub Mobile provides real-time push notifications for mentions, review requests, comments, and status checks.
From the mobile app, I can: Create issues with templates Add labels, milestones, and assignees React to comments or add clarifying questions Close or reopen issues instantly
I can efficiently review pull requests by: Skimming the diff with a mobile-optimized code view Leaving line comments or overall feedback Approving or requesting changes Checking CI status before merging
Saved replies let me respond to repetitive queries in seconds, while emoji reactions quickly signal acknowledgment without a full comment.
The app lets me check: Checks and workflow results Activity graphs Commit history
If a PR is ready, I can merge it directly from the app. In One Line : “GitHub Mobile helps me manage issues and PRs with real-time triage, fast metadata updates, mobile-friendly code reviews, and instant merges—keeping the project flowing even when I’m away from the keyboard.” |

I’ve found GitHub Mobile most useful for quick triage and small reviews. The Inbox filters help a lot in keeping issues and PRs organized, and I only keep “participating” notifications enabled so it doesn’t get overwhelming. For PRs, I usually review or comment on smaller changes directly from my phone, and approve once all checks are green. For anything larger or multi-file, I switch to desktop, but mobile works great for staying responsive when I’m away. |
