## What it is
iOctocat v1 is an open-source GitHub client app for iOS devices (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch). The repository contents were removed by the author; the source remains accessible at an older ref, but the app was never updated for iOS 7 and the successor v2 is a closed-source App Store product.

## Use cases
- browse GitHub repositories on an iPhone
- manage GitHub issues and pull requests from an iPad
- study the source of an early native iOS GitHub client
- build a legacy iOS GitHub app from old source

## When to choose
- you need the historical source of a pre-iOS 7 GitHub iOS client
- you want to study or fork an older open-source GitHub mobile app

## When to avoid
- you need a maintained GitHub client for modern iOS
- you expect updates, support, or a current App Store release
- you need iOS 7 or newer compatibility

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: abandoned
- function: gui, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, mobile-development, version-control
- platform: -
- tags: github-client, open-source-v1, discontinued, objective-c-era, homepage-squatted, ios, mobile
