About Forker
# 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.

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

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.

Thanks for this awesome work you've done. I don't know why, every time I close a file it crashes. Please fix it.

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

Its nice to see someone pick up the project. The key generation feature is very convenient.

The only Git client that actually works for me. Thanks! GRIPE: Once you create a repository you can no longer see what the local path is. Why not provide some way to display the local path?
