Description
Agit is a Git client for Android devices, allowing you to checkout the entire history of a Git repository while on the move, review changes and store for full offline access.• Clone remote Git repositories onto your phone!
• Just like regular Git, the full history is stored for offline access.
• Animated Diffs - Watch diffs smoothly transition from Before to After - and back again. I'm using 'smooth' figuratively here. It's still pretty cool.
• Supports git, http, https, ssh protocols:
- see https://github.com/rtyley/agit/wiki/HTTP for details about HTTP authentication
- see https://github.com/rtyley/agit/wiki/SSH or watch http://youtu.be/6YXR-ZhZ1Qk for SSH setup instructions
• Pull-to-refresh fetching
• Currently this is a 'read-only' client. You can clone & fetch, but not commit and push. I haven't yet had time to build all the user interface around that - but I reckon implementing pinch-gesture-branch-merge would be fun.
• Periodic sync enabled on Android 2.2 and later - latest commits fetched quarter-hourly.
• Cloning substantial projects (eg Mongo, JQuery) will take a few minutes to perform - fortunately subsequent fetches will be much faster.
• Due to limitations in Java/JGit (the underlying library used by Agit for Git support) the following features are unfortunately unsupported: submodules, symbolic links.
Android devices have limited memory, and due to the nature of Git delta-packing individual large files in your repo (eg around 5MB or above) can cause unavoidable out-of-memory errors, even on modern devices. This doesn't constrain overall repository size - which can be much bigger - it only constrains the *largest files* you can have in your repository's history. More information here:

To help users fix the large-file repos that Agit has trouble with, I've developed a The BFG, a command line tool purpose-built for slimming down Git repositories:

The BFG is a much simpler and faster alternative to using git-filter-branch, and makes it easy to clean up repositories so that they can be read by Agit.

Great app! I tried the other clients on the store but none of them had the functionality that this one has. Worth the price. Looking forward to more.

Push please Hi. I'm really satisfied with the cloning and pulls. I hope you will complete commit and push. Will increase to 5 stars for push.

Excellent app Clean interface. Would be even better if it had push ability.

Rather disingenuous It says it supports HTTP/HTTPS, but I tried to clone my own gitolite managed HTTP-served repos, with no success. I wasn't given a prompt to enter my password, so I assume that the support for HTTP authentication is not there. Big shame.

Great app! Agit is easy to use and looks great. Cool integration of public keys through ConnectBot. Nice diff feature lets you move a slider and graphically emphasize/de-emphasize the old and new text.

Fast and easy to use Agit is quite a nice implementation, nicely layouted and focussed on important information. And indeed, very responsive developer!

Excellent! Responsive dev, definitely worth buying. Easy to grab the repo, view it and have the files available as well.

Pretty good I normally wouldn't buy a basic git client, but the fact that it is open source makes it worth the money. It is an extremely well done client and is useful when I want to browse my coffee on the go. Two features that it needs, though are a file list with expandable folders instead of just a file list, and the ability to remember passwords for when I download private repositories. With these features, this app would get a five star rating from me.

Needs commit and push Bit worth buying until these are implemented
