I want to write documentation with android while I am traveling.

The network connection is slow and interrupted often.

Is there an android app where I can commit locally and commits get pushed later if the connection is stable?

There are several apps which enable you to browse github, but you can't edit files with them.

I found Pocket Git:

Pocket Git is a powerful standalone Git client for Android with the following features:

★ Simple interface. ★ Clone repositories. ★ Support HTTP and SSH protocols. ★ Passwords and private keys (with passphrase). ★ Automatically capture Github and Bitbucket links. ★ Checkout local and remote branches, individual commits and tags. ★ Stage, unstage and commit. ★ Merge, create and delete branches. ★ Create and delete tags. ★ Create files and folders. ★ Edit files in a external editor (e.g. DroidEdit). ★ Revert changes to single files or complete working tree. ★ Push, pull and fetch from remotes. ★ Projects with more than one remote. ★ Graphical log. ★ View differences before commiting. ★ View differences for each commit. ★ View differences, for any file, between current working tree and HEAD.

I use it with the editor of the same author (DroidEdit)

It costs only few Euros.

Well, FastHub does. FastHub was created in 2017. The idea of a FastHub creator is due to the fact that most of the few GitHub client apps are either don't have many features, look good, or buggy.

The development is also active by creators and contributors from time to time make FastHub better. Now FastHub almost has many features as on the GitHub website.

FastHub provides what you need when you use the GitHub service on your phone. The features in FastHub are great. These are the main features that are useful:

Themes Mode

FastHub has several themes. That is Light theme, Dark theme, Amoled theme, and Dark blue theme.

Material Design UI

All pages in FastHub include Feeds, Profile page, Issues, and PR page, Trending, Gist has a great looking material design.

Trending

You can also choose a specific programming language and view trending daily/weekly/monthly.

Offline Mode

This is really helpful when you have connection problems and you can still see some repos and files you have visited.

Notification

The push notification works well, you can set the sync interval between 1 minute/5 minutes/10 minutes/30 minutes/1 hour/2 hours/3 hours.

Search Users/Orgs, Repos, Issues/PRs & Code

The search results have been categorized and it's easy to switch.

The features that are common and important in Repository, Issues, Pull Request, Profile, Gist, etc on the GitHub website are almost available in FastHub. See more features.
