Pocket Git

★★★★★ I have been looking for a way to do development on my Chromebook but source code control with GitHub was an issue. I purchased Pocket Git since I can install Android apps on my Chromebooks. Once I was mapped Pocket Git to the shared Pictures' folder I was able to clone easily. I was a bit puzzled on how to add files until I reread the manual and the key was a long hold on the file to add. Once I did that I could add all files in a folder. Commit and push was easily done. Very nice app!!!

★★★★★ Great app functionality! Does all the git actions I wanted with local storage! I spent some time figuring out connecting to GitHub and trying out the different menus. But through exploring all the UI, I found all the git actions I need to edit my gatsby static site on the go! Syncing down a GitHub Repo: Use your browser to view the GitHub repo, then use the BROWSER 'share' to another app to send it to Pocket Git (like sending a website from your browser to a text message). Pocket Git should be one of the shareable app options and will fill in repo sections. It did take me a good amount of time to get my auth working, so here's my solution in hopes it helps someone else: - I have 2FA enabled on my GitHub account and I think that blocks the regular password authentication flow - I wasn't able to get private key authorization to accept the id_rsa token I generated on my laptop (I used a cloud service to move the file locally onto my OnePlus 6T) - SSH key worked in the end, but I had to go through the same token generation + migration steps again on my laptop, but instead of adding the SSH key to my GitHub account, go to 'Settings > Deploy Key' section of the repo and add it there.

★★☆☆☆ Fails to clone a repo from GitHub with the message “Invalid Private Key”. There is no FAQ or support section on the app website.

★★☆☆☆ I really want to like it, but since some years ago it stopped accepting my SSH keys. Tried with Gitlab tokens as password, but nothing, tried with 4096 rsa, but nothing... I guess it only works with public repos... such a shame.
