I have worked from iPad + Raspberry Pi 400 setup exclusively for two weeks as an experiment.

I usually ran code-server on the Raspberry Pi and connected to it from the iPad to read and write code, but I found GitLab’s built-in Web IDE to be quite usable too (it’s based on code too afaik).

As for reading code for review purposes — if you don’t need to compare it locally, and built in Merge/Pull Request review of GitLab/GitHub/etc are enough, experience on iPad isn’t much different from desktop.

Doing all of this without a physical keyboard makes it much more painful though.

TL;DR: use GitHub/GitLab’s web interfaces, have a physical keyboard.
