RepoGlance for GitHub

Connecting GitHub

The easiest way is Sign in with GitHub on the first screen. GitHub asks you to approve the RepoGlance Widgets app and choose which repositories it can read, including private ones. Access is read-only: open issues, pull requests and basic repository details. To add or remove repositories later, open Settings → Manage repository access, or GitHub → Settings → Applications → Installed GitHub Apps.

Prefer a token? Create a fine-grained personal access token at GitHub → Settings → Developer settings → Fine-grained tokens. Choose the repositories you want, and set Issues, Pull requests and Metadata to Read-only. Paste the token into RepoGlance. The app never needs write access.

Choosing what a widget shows

Touch and hold the widget on your Home Screen, tap Edit Widget, then pick the repositories and their order. Each widget can show a different set. Widgets can't scroll, so longer lists show a page button (for example 1/3 ›).

Counts look out of date

The widget updates when you open the app, and in the background when iOS allows. Pull down on the Overview to refresh now. If GitHub's rate limit is reached, the app shows when you can try again.

A repository shows “Unavailable”

GitHub couldn't find it: it may have been deleted or renamed, or RepoGlance may not have access to it. If you signed in with GitHub, add the repository under Settings → Manage repository access; if you use a token, edit the token's repository access on GitHub.

Restoring your purchase

Settings → Restore Purchase, signed in with the same Apple Account.
