I am searching for a Git client on Android. I have version 4.

I require:

  • reading files locally and commit with message if changes found (local git commit should work offline)
  • synchronize with non local git server
  • pull request
  • git push
  • git clone
  • gratis
  • open source preferred
  • ad free preferred

I don't look for text editor/text viewer, I have other programs for that task.

Example use case: I have files on my Github, and would like to clone the repo, make changes with another text editor , commit the changes, and then push the changes back to the Github

    Not using any myself, but take your pick from my app listing on Versioning with Git for a starter :)

  • @DJCrashdummy How to push/pull while offline? I don't think the linked question is a duplicate. Walle didn't write anything about "code browsing" here. Git isn't just for development – one can also use it e.g. to manage configuration files (check e.g. etckeeper), documents, and more :)

  • @Izzy: well, clients for offline-usage also can (and probably must) have online-capabilities... so much offline-clients would fit this requirements.

    @DJCrashdummy Agreed it's definitely related – but no dupe. The other question just asks to clone and investigate code, while Walle requires also sync, pull, push. True enough one usually doesn't come without the other ;)

    @WalleCyril i'm not sure what exactly you are considering a "private repo"... but local & remote repos are supported (even importing existing ones) and also username/password and SSH-keys. so i'm pretty sure, yes. || but keep in mind MGit is not a Github client but a generic git client! so as long as your service (if you are using such a thing) sticks to the "default/norm", chances are high that it is supported.
