A focused Working Copy alternative for folder sync

If your main job is keeping a Files-visible iPhone folder aligned with GitHub, Local Git offers a narrower workflow: review status, tap Synchronize, and resolve conflicts when necessary.

How to use it

  1. Start from GitHub

    Push your current branch to GitHub from Working Copy or another Git client.

  2. Choose a fresh folder

    In Local Git, connect the writable GitHub repository and clone it into an empty On My iPhone folder.

  3. Open the folder in your editor

    Use an app that can work with that Files-visible folder, then synchronize in Local Git.

Check the fit

Local Git does not import a Working Copy repository directly or replace its full Git feature set. Its current remote scope is GitHub. Check that your editor can use the linked folder before moving your workflow.

In short

Choose Local Git for a deliberate folder-to-GitHub synchronization flow with visible recovery. Choose Working Copy if you need its broader Git client tools or its own repository storage workflow.
