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 SGit 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, SGit 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, SGit tries to connect as root.

HTTP(S) URLs

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

To Do List

• Private key passphrase
• Submodule support
• Dark theme
• Commits related to a file
• Commit graph (low priority)

sgit's Issues

[FEATURE] Add a swipe from the right side to show related commits to diff

When viewing a file it would be nice if there was the option for a right to left swipe, opening an overview of related commits to the file and creating the ability to diff between.

Package seems to be mismatch

It crashes on launch and the stack trace says setContentView(int) is undefined

Custom storage location of downloaded repositories

Basically, a setting that allows you to specify where you want the repos to go when they are downloaded, as opposed to just dumping them into /sdcard/Android/data/me.sheimi.sgit

Defaulting to there is fine, however.

Additionally, have an option when changing the download location to move the repos from their previous location to the new one, so they aren't lost somewhere, and so you don't have to redownload them.

Rename local repository

I've local repository with '.git' and some without...
I also want to rename repos to change case.

New version of SGit crashes when cloning a repo

SGit (1.1.5) crashes if I try to clone a repo via ssh or https.

Stephan

Repositories stored on servers with self signed certificates is not supported.

This is easily fixed by the git command
$ git config http.sslVerify false

As far as I can tell there is no way to input this option.

Is there anyway to manually edit (or specify your own) .gitconfig file?

[FEATURE] Implement a Markdown parser

It would be nice if Markdown documents could be viewed naturally

Allow listing dot folder

When I want to add my private key, I can't list folder beginning with a dot like ".ssh/" ;)

Stores imported private keys in public world writable location.

Private keys are imported and saved to Android/data/me.sheimi.sgit/files/ssh/ at the getExternalFilesDir(). This location is world readable and writable by every application with access to the shared public storage area.

While being able to backup/restore keys and repositories through that directory structure may be useful, it is generally a BAD idea to say, allow any app with network and /sdcard access to go upload this file or edit it at will. In fact this is exactly why the very popular OpenSSH client program used on PCs refuses to use key files that are world writable or with permissions to loose. SGit has none of this user-protection.

Such sensitive files belong in the SGit applications private directory structure under /data/data/me.sheimi.sgit. Instead of using FsUtils.getDir(), SGitSessionFactory should be using some sort of FsUtils.getPrivateDir() method.

Create new local branch

Perhaps I have simply missed how to create a local branch but it appears to me that currently it is only supported to checkout already existing branches. For me to actually be able to use this in a sensible way, I would need to create local branches. I believe it is a rather integral component in a git work flow.

git-remote and git-revert missing

Can't add remote gits or revert commits on the latest release?

http://git-scm.com/docs/git-remote
http://git-scm.com/docs/git-revert

Bug last line add on new file

I've create a file with 5 lines in VimTouch and when I saw it in SGit it display line 1 to 6.

The 6th is empty.

Feature Add git commit --amend to edit commit message

We can't edit the commit message by another one if we add a mistake.
With amend we can edit it.

Sometimes files won't open

Every now and then when I try to view an file, the loading indicator just keeps spinning and does not open the file in question. If I however open this file in DroidEdit and then return it opens fine for some reason.

[FEATURE] Design atmosphere when viewing a short file

When viewing a short file, it would be nice the view extends the line number column and code background all the way down.

Create a warning/error when trying to pull from a certain commit

When viewing a certain commit hash you are still able to "pull", this of course is errornous, and the user should be warned / asked to switch to a decent branch.

cherry pick command and a git status

Include darker theme option

Honestly, the blue theme is really pretty and all, but sometimes I don't like having my eyes scorched.

A darker or black theme would be nice.

Crashes on launch since last update N7

Looks like it's not resolving the sherlock actionbar library. I sent a full report via the Google crash log. Let me know if you want more information.

SGit is awesome

Just wanted say thanks for this awesome app SGit has become my goto android .git app while mobile keep up the great work buddy and Happy Holidays sheimi ;)

Can't clone repos

At the moment I can't clone any repo on github. The command fails via ssh and https with "exception caught during execution of fetch command".

Feature Add multiline comment.

When I wrote my commit message I often use carrier return for each idea a line.
Maybe it will be great to enable multiline comment.

Allow choosing files to be committed/respect .gitignore

Currently every time I hit commit SGit commits everything in my working tree, and automatically adds new files to the git repository. I'd like to be able to control this. For example: compiling tex documents generate a lot of by-products that are useful locally but not in the repo.

One way could be to respect and use .gitignore.

Unicode encoded files (with BOM)

If there is a Unicode encoded file inside the repository using a BOM, the BOM seems to be displayed as a red dot as the first character of the file....
... the Encoding of the files themselves seems to be ok. Even editing seems to work.

You probably want to change that behaviour.

Unstandard SSH Port

Markdown: Support fenced code

Currently the markdown syntax doesn't seem to support 'fenced' code blocks (i.e. those delimited by triple back tick (```).

So, the following would not be properly recognised as code:

1.  Initilize git **bare**:
    ```
    mkdir dir.git
    cd dir.git
    git --bare init
    ```
2.  Enable and configure sparse-checkout:

It would be great if that could be fixed!

Leave last value in field if it's failed

When I add repos (from github or bitbucket) sometimes the URL is not short.

ie: https://domaine.com/username/repository.git After I specify: localrepos.git and my username and my password (4 fields).
So if it's failed all fields are empty.
Too many time lost ;)

Can you solved this? Thanks

"invalid privatekey" error when interfacing with gitosis

This is probably an error in my configuration of Gitosis, but the error message rendered by SGit makes it very difficult to track down. I'm trying to connect to a repository hosted via gitosis. I've imported a private key into SGit and committed the corresponding public key to Gitosis, but when I attempt to connect, SGit gives me an "invalid privatekey" error. (It also wipes out all of the information I entered about the repository, requiring me to painstakingly type it all back in to try again.)

Can you tell me whether this error means that the host rejected the private key, or whether SGit has determined the key is invalid? Thanks.

ART force close when cloning new reposotory

The app crashes with ART ad runtime when cloning a new repository. It could be an ART issue, ad I found this in other Git apps

Can't add repos

It says 'Invalid remote' when I try to add a repo.
Even this one won't work. Am I doing something wrong?

no way to edit connection

It would be great to be able to edit connection info after a repo has been cloned, or in other way to edit the .git/config file. (in my case I use to switch between my lan hostname and the associated wan hostname for the same repository server)

Bug can't push to origin

When I try to push to origin
I see "opening connection" 0% and 0/0
And it's disappear after 2 or 3 seconds.

Because my repos wasn't up to date so it's freeze at this time.

Maybe you have to add a message to update the repos before pushing.

no way to see log info

When I make a pull request on a given repository, I encounter a "pull failed" error but without additional info I can't know what to do.

Oops, Out of memory during resolving deltas

when cloning my remote repository, everything is OK until I get the message "Oops, out of memory". My phone had more than 200Mb of available RAM before cloning.

Feature : Rename repository

If you create a new repos "TEST" you can't rename it later.

Implement a app chooser when trying to edit file

Add a license

(See title.)

Show Diff for commit on Commits tab

Wouldn't it make more sense to propose to see the diff of the commit rather than to checkout to it?

For checking out the user could long press then get the option. On my mobile phone, i'm more concerned about seeing what my mates have done rather than checkout. I guess the diff command is run more than checkout in most cases.

Last commit message not updated

The last commit message is not updated in the main screen when a user makes a pull and then go back to the main screen.

Can't push when using http without password

Failed clone leads to in-correctable state

When a clone fails ( I'm on a 3g connection in Indonesia ), opening the repository throws errors, and it is impossible to delete the in-correct state.

Adding a repository fails when a redirect response is received.

Adding a repository fails when a redirect response is received. It should be able to follow 301 status codes.

http.sslVerify = false not supported in repo's config?

Adding http.sslVerify = false to [sdcard dir]/Android/data/me.sheimi.sgit/files/repo/myrepo/.git/config causes the app to crash on opening the repo.

I manually imported a repo whose remote is an https URL, self-signed cert.

No error message if push is rejected by remote

If you attempt to push to a remote, and the push is rejected by the remote (such as, if the branch you are pushing has diverged on the remote, or if you are pushing to a "non-bare" repo, and the branch you are pushing is currently checked out on the remote), the user receives no indication that the push is rejected - it will appear that the push has succeeded, but when you look at the remote, you can see that the commits you pushed are not there.

File editing

Hello!

Could you please fix the file editing feature, because if I click on a file, the coming loading screen never ends.
I'm using Android 4.1.3 (I think) and sasung Galaxy S2 and WLan 16.000 kb/s

Choose branch not showing all branches

When I tap the branch chooser I only see the master branch even though I have one other branch.

Bug line number

If you create a new file and you open it line number begin by "1." on the first line and "0." on second line.

[FEATURE] Implement an package explorer?

It would be nice if there was an package explorer available to make it easier to switch to files and open these in e.g. DroidEdit. Not as much as an real issue but more a feature request :-)

No way to cancel a git operation

SGit on my phone is stuck in a state it's trying to resolve deltas for 3 days. I think it would be useful to permit the cancellation of the sgit action in progress when a long click is made on a repository item.

Thanks !

Initialize empty git repo locally

I'm probably in the minority, but I like to use git for everything. School projects, code, you name it. The ability to create totally local repositories would be handy.

Having access to the git add remote command would be nice after this is added, in case the user decides to make it remote later on.
