I'm very impressed with how Claude Code integrates with GitHub on my iPhone to make pull requests. Review code and merge changes all without touching my desktop.

Now I don't think this is going to replace desktop computing by any means.

However, I've had a real good time with very minimal issues for the past week using the Claude Code <> GitHub integration.

Download the Claude iPhone app.

Download the GitHub iPhone app.

Open the Claude iPhone app and select Code from the sidebar menu. This opens up a version of claude code accessible on your phone.

Click the little chat button and the top right to create a new session.

Sessions in Claude Code operate much like chat message threads if you're familiar with the regular chat screens for Claude, Gemini or ChatGPT.

The first time you use this, you'll need to connect your Claude and GitHub accounts. Claude will install its extension on your GitHub account, which enables it to read and write according to whatever you give it access to.

Once you've done this, you'll now see a little plus icon above the message bar. Click this, and you can select whatever repository your referencing in this session.

Now it's just like any other chat. Ask it to do or fix whatever you need to.

In my example above, I asked it to make some optimizations to a simple HTML webpage product and create a PR request for that.

It should create a PR by default. This allows you to review the changes over on the GitHub app before you merge them into the live codebase.

For something like my project with very low stakes, I didn't even leave the apps. I reviewed everything quickly, tested the preview link that was created via my Netlify connection, and made the changes go live.

Watch the short video above to see it in action.

I was very impressed with this.

I can do all this stuff from a command line. But I don’t live in that environment every day. This really minimizes the friction to create proper code updates even for a peasant coder like me.

What do you think?

Did I just go full nerd on you or is this something you’re interested in using?

Let me know if you have specific use cases you'd like to see me discuss or make a tutorial about.

I read every email response.

Thanks so much for your time and hope you have a great week!
