Forker

Open-source Git client

# 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.

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.
