Gitling

Git client built with Jetpack Compose and Material 3 Expressive
New in version 1.0.62
Tap the Files path bar to jump straight to a folder (thanks BugeStudioTeam). Drag and drop text from other apps into any text field. Fixed crashes when renaming a branch or tag and when searching commits quickly. Fixed the commit author suggestions interrupting typing. Clearer error when cherry-picking an unknown commit. The git console now keeps a separate history for each repository.
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, staging, git rebase, git cherry-pick, git checkout
* Private key generation and management
* Import an existing repository from device storage
* Light/dark mode that follows the system, with a choice between a fixed brand color or wallpaper-based Material You dynamic color

Gitling doesn't include an internal text editor -- to edit files, you'll need an editor app installed that supports opening files via Android's File Provider mechanism (most code/text editor apps do).

Versions

Although APK downloads are available below to give you the choice, you should be aware that by installing that way you will not receive update notifications and it's a less secure way to download. We recommend that you install the F-Droid client and use that.
