In ye olden days, iOS kept everything sandboxed in a way that apps weren't allowed to reach outside of their own data to open individual files. But with the aptly named Files app, and an API to allow a human to do the picking, apps can now open files directly on iOS.

This "innovation" allows us to have a Git client on iOS and have it use a linked repo that's stored in the Files app. This means we can use any text editor we like to open the repos files for editing.

In this tidbit episode of Programming By Stealth, Bart walks us through how to configure the iOS Git client Working Copy to clone a repo from GitHub, and then open the files in his favorite text editor on iOS, Textastic.

Hat's off to Jill of Kent that explained to Bart and me more than a year ago that this was possible, but a fist shake to Bart for not telling me how to do it till now!

You can find Bart's fabulous tutorial shownotes at pbs.bartificer.net.
