GitNomad: Mobile Git IDE

GitNomad turns your phone into a lightweight IDE for the git repositories on your computer. Edit code, browse files, view history, run commands, and sync it all back to your desktop — without SSH, tunnels, or fiddly setup.

Install the free GitNomad extension in VS Code (or any VS Code–based editor), link your phone once with a short code, and the repos you choose to share stay in sync between both devices.

WHAT YOU CAN DO:

• Browse your repo’s files and folders from your phone

• Edit code in a fast editor with syntax highlighting for Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, JSON, HTML, CSS, Markdown, Rust, C/C++, Java, Go, SQL, PHP and more

• Two-way sync — changes on your phone land on your desktop, and your desktop’s edits (even unsaved ones) appear on your phone

• Run commands on your desktop from your phone with a real terminal — multiple tabs, command history, and your choice of shell (PowerShell, cmd, bash, and more)

• Review changes as clean green/red accept-or-reject hunks — never raw merge conflict markers

• See your commit history and diffs

• Push to GitHub through your desktop

• Dark and light themes

HOW IT WORKS:

Your desktop’s local git repository is always the source of truth. GitNomad’s sync service is only a secure relay between your two devices — it does not read, analyze, sell, or share your code. Everything is encrypted in transit, and your account and its data are isolated from every other account’s.

SIGN IN:

Sign in with GitHub or Google — no passwords to manage.

PRIVACY & CONTROL:

• Remove a single repo to delete just its cloud copy — your local git repo is never touched

• Delete your account any time to wipe everything from the cloud

• No ads, no third-party trackers

Built for solo developers who want their real project in their pocket.
