I was really disappointed with this -- I was hoping to be able to view source code nicely on my mobile device. Instead, I get a list of repos (not helpful), "news" (not helpful to me), and issues (we use Pivotal Tracker). I just uninstalled the app; I can't think of anything I'd use it for.
Hubroid[1] has been an awesome github app for android for a long time. Considering that I get a force close when just trying to open the new app, it's still a viable option.
I was in contact with the GitHub team for awhile and had a good idea that the app was in development for awhile, but since I didn't know when they'd be releasing it (internship with them fell through this year so I didn't get any top-secret info) I just decided to keep up developing Hubroid. Still going to do that, of course, I like my design ideas better. ;)
Oh, and the force close you get is sort of my fault. I erroneously used the "com.github" namespace when implementing the account authenticator, which wholly belongs to GitHub. Thought I was using "com.github.eddieringle" but I guess a commit was overridden once or twice. Whoops.
EDIT: Btw, thanks for spelling the name correctly. I couldn't tell you how many times people write "Hubdroid" instead. Ruins my Google search result ranking, heh.
Lately I have been finding myself surfing github just to read other folks source. I just downloaded the app. Unfortunately it doesn't currently display source... Bummer.
Would love if I could clone repos on the sdcard, and push commits from the sdcard. So far the app doesn't even allow to browse code, so I have a hard time figuring out any use for it. I don't really care about news, and viewing commits is fine, but I can't even see the diff so... I don't know. I assume it's just a start, so I'll keep it and wait for updates to see how it goes.
If there's only one action in the overflow button in the action bar, you make that the button. In this app, the only action in the overflow button is "Refresh", so the app should simply just have a refresh button there instead.

That would probably be bloody hard though, making code readable on a mobile device. Also of limited use, if you can't edit it.
I could see it useful to e.g. read & review pull requests on the move, but there really isn't much you can do with just a phone's surface.
And if you have accessories, why not carry a small laptop you can tether to your phone?

And seriously, why's editing and committing from android tablets so far fetched??
