Magic Bean

Any developer should be using some form of source control, I’ve written about this before. My current preference for hosting code is Beanstalk and while their website is very well built it’s just not made for mobile use. Enter Magic Bean.

Magic Bean is the latest iOS app from Andrew Yates, and offers access to almost all of the functionality of the Beanstalk website via a native interface. At the moment you can access all of your repos, view recent commits and deploys and even deploy changesets from the app itself!

The developer has promised more updates, with multiple account support and revision details coming soon. As it stands this app is a developers best friend, the one who forgot to hit deploy at 5.30 on a Friday before leaving work.

What’s more, I have 3 promo codes for Magic Bean on the iTunes Store to give away! To be in with a chance of winning leave a comment below, points will be given to anyone who has a funny source control of general WTF work story.
