Create repositories on the go with GitHub Mobile

You can now create new repositories directly from the GitHub Mobile app.

On iOS, start from either Home or your Profile, tap the + button, and choose Create repository. On Android, you can create a repository from Home or from the Repositories section of your Profile.

When you create the repository, you can:

• Choose to create it under your account.
• Enter a repository name.
• Set the visibility (Public or Private).
• Add an optional description.
• Optionally select a template.

Depending on whether you choose a template, you’ll see different setup options:

• If you select a template: You’ll only have the option to Include all branches (default: Off).
• If you don’t select a template: You can initialize the repository by choosing whether to Add a README (default: Off), and you can optionally add a .gitignore and a license.

You’ll then be taken straight to your new repository so you can start collaborating, browsing code, or pushing your first commit.

Download or update GitHub Mobile today from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store to get started.
