GitResa connects to any standard Git remote including GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Gitea, Forgejo, or private self-hosted Git repositories. Connections are authenticated via HTTPS (with passwords or personal access tokens) or SSH keys (Ed25519 & RSA).
No. The developer operates no intermediary servers. All repositories remain strictly on your iPad. SSH keys and access tokens are secured exclusively within Apple's hardware-encrypted Secure Enclave (iOS Keychain).
The free version lets you create, clone, and manage 1 full repository with all features enabled indefinitely. The annual GitResa Pro subscription removes the repository limit, allowing you to manage unlimited repositories.
Yes. Leveraging Apple's official Security-Scoped Bookmarks, you can open, clone, and edit repositories located on external USB-C drives or inside chosen folders in the Files app. GitResa works completely offline as well.
Take full control of your Git repositories and source code on iPad – fast, native, and telemetry-free.
