Download

2. Choose a suitable release from the GitHub repository.

Quick Start

Clone a remote repository

• Click on the + icon to add a new repository
• Enter remote URL see URL format below
• Enter local repository name - note that this is not the full path, as MGit stores all repositories in the same local directory (can be changed in MGit settings)
• Click the Clone button
• If required, you will be prompted for credentials to connect to the remote repo. MGit will download the repository (all branches) to your device

Create a local repository

• Click on the + icon to add a new repository
• Click on Init Local to create a local repository
• Enter the name for this repository when prompted
• A local empty repo will be created
