Wtf does this do

CodeHub is an iOS app that gives you a mobile-friendly way to browse and manage your GitHub account from an iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad. GitHub's own website is designed for desktop browsers, so navigating it on a small screen can be awkward. CodeHub solves that by presenting your repositories, pull requests, issues, and code diffs in a clean, touch-first layout designed specifically for iOS devices. The app connects to GitHub and lets you view repository contents, track pull requests, read and leave comments on code changes, and browse issues, essentially the core activities a developer needs when checking in on a project while away from their computer. Under the hood it is built with Xamarin, a framework that lets developers write iOS apps using C# rather than Apple's native languages. It also uses ReactiveUI, a pattern for managing how the app responds to user actions and data changes. You would reach for CodeHub when you want to stay on top of your GitHub projects from your iPhone, reviewing a pull request someone submitted, checking if an issue was resolved, or simply browsing a repository you are curious about. It is aimed at developers who are active on GitHub and want a native iOS experience rather than using a web browser on their phone.
