Git client built with Jetpack Compose and Material 3 Expressive
About this app
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).

What's New in v1.0.52
Imported from the F-Droid repository index.
- Fixed several crash reports: cloning/initializing with no name typed yet, generating a DSA SSH key at the default length, and a rare crash pulling right after the app restarts. The Clone/Init sheet also now shows validation errors instead of closing silently.

Installation Guide
Open Settings on your Android device
Go to Security → Unknown sources (or Install unknown apps)
Enable "Allow from this source" for your browser or file manager
Open the downloaded APK file from your Downloads folder
Tap "Install" and wait for installation to complete
Launch the app from your home screen
Make sure to re-enable Unknown Sources restrictions after installation for security.
How to install this safely
How to verify the file you downloaded
Before you install anything, confirm the file is the one described here. On a computer, run shasum -a 256 your-download.apk (macOS or Linux) or certutil -hashfile your-download.apk SHA256 (Windows), then compare the output character-for-character with the SHA-256 on this page. If a single character differs, the file is not the build we recorded — delete it.
What the signing certificate proves
Every Android app is signed with a private key that only its developer holds. The fingerprint on this page is a hash of the matching public certificate, and it proves continuity rather than identity: it tells you a build came from whoever signed the earlier ones. Android enforces this at install time — if a package claiming to be com.maneeshacooray.gitling is signed with a different key, the system will refuse to install it over your existing copy. A fingerprint that changes between releases is worth pausing on, because a repackaged app that has been modified by someone else cannot keep the original signature.
How to roll back to an earlier version
If the current release misbehaves, 1.0.51 is the last build before it. Android will not install an older version code over a newer one, so you must uninstall Gitling first — which clears its local data unless you have a backup. Reinstall the older APK only if its signing fingerprint matches the build you already trust, and check the API range: an older release may target an Android version your device has moved past.
Why we list sources instead of hosting everything
The official store channel is almost always the right choice: it updates automatically and carries the publisher's own distribution guarantees. A direct APK is useful when a device has no store access, when a rollout has not reached your region, or when you need a specific version — and only when the publisher has authorized that copy. APKBrowse does not list pirated, cracked, or unauthorized rebuilds of Gitling, and a listing is removed when the evidence for it stops holding up.
