With Issue Composer, you can create issues, document bugs, propose features, and engage in discussions directly from your mobile device.

Customize the app by creating shortcuts 📱

There are times when taking the scenic route makes sense, but maybe not necessarily when you’re working under a deadline. And that’s the beauty of shortcuts, right? With GitHub Mobile’s Shortcuts, you can access all of the important things, like issues, discussion, or pull requests, right on the home page of your mobile app.

To start customizing your shortcuts, simply open the app and click the “Get started” button.

From there, you can either choose from the “suggested shortcuts” selection or create your own. When creating your shortcuts, the scope for customization is pretty vast. You can select:

• Open or closed issues
• Created, mentioned, or assigned issues
• All, private, or public repositories
• Filter by org
• Filter by repository
• Even sort from various categories and emojis

Once you save the shortcut, all the things you need are simply a tap away.

GitHub Mobile empowers developers to make meaningful contributions and stay productive no matter where they are. Whether you’re reviewing code, managing issues, or participating in discussions, you can stay connected and engaged with your projects at all times, even during downtime.
