When trying to clone a repo with a root path on the external sdcard, MGit fials with the error message:

• Creating directories on [path to git root on sdcard] failed.

An identical clone operation with an internal memory location set to the git root path succeeds.

Internal memory is too precious to use for repo storage.

I have a repository access which requires a private key instead of password (password-protected key is what I have). I've added my key to SGit, but I don't see how to use it further. Is there such an option?

Hi I try to use "http" to git clone my git on my own server but there is an error "org.eclipse.jgit.api.errors.TransportException : cannot open git-upload-pack" the link "http://user:password@ip:port/gitdata" works well on my computer, but when I use this link on sgit on my android device, it gets an exception of "cannot open git-upload-pack".

Any one know what's happen of this?

On older devices (pre API 21) its possible that the openssl lib shipped with the device has bugs that prevent it connecting to services like Github which have started enforcing TLSv1.2 only. Adding a dependency on Play Services allows us to easily use the more up to date OpenSSL lib shipped with Play Services. This along with PR #272 should finally fix #259

Hi there :)

1. I create a new directory
2. I commit and upload
3. Gitea shows nothing
4. It works fine from my local Computer

I also tried to commit content into these folders. Seems like mgit is incompatible with Gitea in this regard?

Android 4.3 on BlackBerry 10 Current version

Downloaded 1.6.2.

It won't let me clone a repository. It won't use the ssh key. I did have it working with a passphrase. But now it won't even ask for a username and password.

All the app does is create the folder for the clone and then gives me a pop-up that says:

Error occurred

Clone failed Operation not permitted

Describe the bug

I cannot clone neither a private or public repository from GitHub.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to Settings -> SSH keys -> Generate key (RSA) -> copy the public part to GitHub account (https://github.com/settings/keys)
2. On main screen click +
3. Provide Remote URL: [email protected]:m-radzikowski/myprivaterepo.git
4. Click Clone
5. Error window: Invalid remove, Clone failed

Expected behavior

Repo should be cloned.

Smartphone (please complete the following information):

• Device: Redmi Note 10
• OS: Android 11
• App Version: 1.5.10

Additional context

I cannot clone any repo - I also tried this repo with URL: [email protected]:maks/mgit.git, got the same error.

The error does not tell much about what is actually wrong.

I have MFA enabled on the github account, but this shouldn't matter if I use SSH URL, right?

Describe the bug

set root folder doesn't work, nothing can't be selected. if the current selection will be saved mgit can't be used anymore and needs to be reinstalled.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to settings, root folder
2. folder is "/storage/emulated0". only ".." is available
3. Click on save
4. previously cloned repositories are not available
5. uninstall
6. reinstall
7. repositories are available again

Expected behavior

it should be possible to browse the folder and to select a folder

Smartphone (please complete the following information):

• Device: Pocophone F1
• OS: MIUI Global 11.0.8 - Android 10
• App Version [e.g. 1.5.3]

Additional context

I think this is related to changed permission system in Android 10. Requested rights are not asked.

Hi. On my Xiaomi Mi 9, when I try to set the root storage location under Settings, I can't see any folder or file in the default /storage/emulated/0 path. I can just go up in the parent folders. I double checked the app permissions and the archiving / storage access is allowed. Can you please check? Do you need more details? Thanks.

I am trying to connect to a git server with a password protected ed25519 ssh key.

Seems that password protected keys work since https://github.com/maks/MGit/pull/155.

But I get following error:

Clone failed:
ssh://username@server/repo.git:
invalid privatekey: SOMECHARACTERS

Is ed25519 supported?

Describe the bug there is a rollback to the last commit, but not to a specific commit, as on the hit commands

git clean -fd git reset --soft 4c78a7737d git add . git commit --amend git push -f

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. rolling back to the last commit

Expected behavior allow you to roll back to the last commit, but with the changes saved. Screenshots If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

Smartphone (please complete the following information):

• Device: xiaomi redmi note 8 pro
• OS: android 11
• App Version 1.6.2

Additional context the addition needs 2 options to leave, reset to commit with and without saving changes.

I would like to clone to my android smartphone a private project using a private key. I hardly suceeded to import my private key to mgit I did not suceed to use this private key during mgit cloning

To Reproduce Prerequisite : The key has been generated by git bash ssh-keygen following GitHub Docs instructions : "Generate new SSH key" https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/connecting-to-github-with-ssh/generating-a-new-ssh-key-and-adding-it-to-the-ssh-agent The public key has been depoyed in my github project

Steps to reproduce the behavior: launch mgit on android smartphone

1. Go to 'settings'
2. Click on Security / SSH Keys / Manage SSH Keys
3. Click on the Import Icon (upper right corner).

First issue The screen enables to navigate anywhere into the file system but it is not possible to select any file. NOTE : I thing this is due to the fact that the application has only required the permission to access to "multimedia" files, and not all files - my android smartphone is running android version 11

The only solution that I have found in order to import the key was to create a sub directory 'ssh_key" in the Audiobooks dirctory Even there I have had to add an extention ".jpg" or ".png" to my private key file in order to be able to select this file. Expected behavior While importing a key, the application should navigate only in the multimedia file space, or should display a warning explaining what are the constraint about the key import location.

NOTE : Afterthat the key seems to be correctly imported : if I quickly click on it, I can see the public key string, if I longly click on it, I can see the private key string.

Second issue But now I don't understand how to assign this key to the ssh session for cloning my project.

**Smartphone

• Device: [redmi 5g]
• OS: [Android 11]
• App Version [1.6.2]

Could you please help me to manage my ssh Key Regards

Describe the bug

MGit deletes renamed directories from the repository in certain constellations, but does not delete them in the file system.

Specifically:

For some repositories used with Windows, as well as somewhere with Unix, and also on Android, I need case sensitivity.

So on Windows I set something like this: git config core.ignorecase false

And also in MGit I set this in raw config.

Now the following happens:

The changes from case in filenames seems to work (most time). The changes I make on Windows go into the repository. Most of the time, they also arrive in Android via MGit. But sometimes MGit then deletes the files in the repository on commit. But mostly it works, and the files are renamed in Android.

According to which principle sometimes files are deleted and sometimes not, I have not understood.

It is worse with directories:

• I get the change of directory names (everything in lower case) from Windows to the repository (GitLab).
• When I do a pull with MGit, the directories are not renamed in the Android file system. But they should be renamed so that the state in Android matches the repository.
• If I now make any commit, MGit deletes these directories in the repository. But they remain in the Android file system. So you don't even notice that they are deleted in the repository unless you look closely at the log.
• With the next pull on Windows, the directories with all contents are deleted, because MGit has deleted them before in the repository.

And since the directories are still there on Android, you don't even get the idea that MGit deleted them in the repository. So you might only notice it by accident. Then you can undo the deletion in the repository. But at the latest with the next pull, commit and push with MGit they will be deleted again.

**Expected behavior MGit should correctly process case changes in directories in case sensitive repositories:

• case sensitivity should also be applied in android.
• MGit should not simply delete something in the repository that is actually still there
• What MGit shows as existing in the file system should correspond to the content of the repository.
