About Gitling
Gitling is a Git client for Android, built with Jetpack Compose and Material 3 Expressive. It's a fork of MGit (itself a continuation of SGit), modernized with a current Android toolchain, a from-scratch Compose UI, one-tap GitHub sign-in, and a new identity. Features: * Clone, create, and delete local repositories * One-tap Connect with GitHub (OAuth Device Flow) -- no manual token/password handling for GitHub remotes * HTTP/HTTPS/SSH, including SSH with private-key passphrase * Username/password and personal access token authentication for any Git host * Browse files and commit history, git diff between commits * Checkout, create, and merge local/remote branches and tags * git status,…
Privacy and F-Droid
