Description

# Forker

A Git client for Android. Forked from [SGit](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.sheimi.sgit). The only reason for this fork is because original seems to be abandoned.

## Notes

* All repositories are stored in `[sdcard dir]/Android/data/ch.phcoder.jigit/files/[repo name]`. If you want to delete this app, you can manually backup repositories from this location.
* The GitHub repo of this project is: [phcoder/SGit](https://github.com/phcoder/SGit).
* If you encounter any issues (bugs, crashes, etc.) and want to help improve this project, please open an issue on [GitHub](https://github.com/phcoder/SGit/issues/new) describing: what the issues are; and how they were caused, to allow for re-creation and fixing of bugs.
* This app is for Android v4.x and later. 4.4 or later or recommended, earlier versions work with reduced functionality and possibly more bugs.

## Quick start

### Clone a remote repository

1. Click on the *+* icon to add a new repository.
2. Enter remote URL (see URL format below).
3. Enter local repository name - note that this is not a path since JiGit stores all repositories in the same directory on the mobile device.
4. Username - username to use to clone the remote repo.
5. Password - password to use to clone the remote repo.
6. Click the *Clone* button.
7. If all the credentials are correct, JiGit will download the repository (all branches) to your device.

### Create a local repository
1. Click on the *+* icon to add a new repository.
2. Click on *Init Local* to create a local repository.
3. Enter the name for this repository when prompted.
4. A local repo will be created.

### URL format

#### SSH URLs

* SSH running on standard port (22): `ssh://username@server_name/path/to/repo`
* SSH running on non-standard port: `ssh://username@server_name:port/path/to/repo`
* `username` is needed - by default, Forker tries to connect as root.

#### HTTP(S) URLs

* HTTP(S) URL: `https://server_name/path/to/repo`

## To Do List

* Private key passphrase
* Commits related to a file
* Commit graph (low priority)

## License

GPLv3

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

User's Reivew

4 ★I liked SGit, but I really love this one. Being able to edit my gitted (is that a word?) files offline on my portable is huge, and it helps that (unlike SGit) I can actually read the dialog boxes. I'm a writer who uses my git wikis as a place to store my drafts, so I use this program a lot. One thing I'd like to see is some indicator that a repo needs to be pushed or pulled, like the Windows app Sourcetree does. That's the only thing I can think of that keeps it from being a 5. Well, that plus I almost never give out 5's anyway.
4 ★Thanks for this awesome work you've done. I don't know why, every time I close a file it crashes. Please fix it.
5 ★Perfect app for developing offline on my tablet. Handles my Git repositories, branches, stashes, pulls and pushes as well as diffs with ease. Perfect companion to Bit Web Server to allow a full offline LAMP development
5 ★Thx for picking up on sgit, it works really well. But please change the icon! :)
5 ★I want a read/write git client with ssh support that works on ART and this is it.
5 ★The only Git client that actually works for me. Thanks!
5 ★Very respectable feature set for a mobile git client
5 ★Glad for the forker!
4 ★Great app
5 ★Its nice to see someone pick up the project. The key generation feature is very convenient.
5 ★Thank You
