How do I connect GitTouch to my self-hosted GitLab server?

Go to the app settings, add a custom domain by entering your GitLab instance URL, and authenticate using your credentials. The README confirms custom domain support is available for GitLab.

GitTouch vs GitHub mobile app: which is better for checking notifications?

GitTouch is ideal if you use multiple Git platforms, offering a unified inbox. However, the GitHub app may have faster updates for GitHub-specific features. GitTouch's strength is cross-platform consolidation.

Does GitTouch work with private repositories on Bitbucket?

Yes, GitTouch supports private repositories on Bitbucket by authenticating with your account. The app uses Bitbucket's API, so ensure your instance is accessible and permissions are set correctly.

Can I use GitTouch offline to view issues or repos?

GitTouch primarily requires an internet connection to sync data via APIs; offline access is limited to cached content. It's not designed for full offline functionality like editing code locally.

Is GitTouch safe for logging into my Git accounts?

GitTouch uses OAuth or token-based authentication per platform, and as an open-source app, you can audit the code. However, always review permissions and use official app stores for secure downloads.

How to contribute or report a bug in GitTouch?

Check the CONTRIBUTING.md file on GitHub for guidelines, and submit issues via the project's repository. The README links to the contributing section for community involvement.

What is GitTouch?

GitTouch is an open-source mobile application that provides access to multiple Git hosting platforms including GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Gitea, and Gitee. It solves the problem of needing separate apps or mobile web interfaces for different Git services by offering a unified mobile experience. The app allows developers to manage repositories, issues, and other platform features directly from their smartphones.

Target Audience

Developers who use multiple Git hosting platforms and want a consistent mobile experience for checking repositories, issues, and notifications on the go.

Value Proposition

GitTouch offers a single app solution for accessing five major Git platforms, eliminating the need to switch between different mobile apps or use mobile web interfaces. Its Flutter-based architecture ensures a native experience on both iOS and Android with consistent functionality across platforms.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Unified Multi-Platform Access

Integrates five major Git services—GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Gitea, and Gitee—into a single app, eliminating the need for multiple mobile interfaces as shown in the supported platforms table.

Cross-Platform Consistency

Built with Flutter, it delivers a native experience on both iOS and Android, with availability on App Store, Google Play, and F-Droid for broad accessibility.

Custom Domain Support

Allows connection to self-hosted instances for GitLab, Bitbucket, and Gitea, with ongoing work for GitHub and Gitee, per the status table in the README.

Open Source and Transparent

Freely available on app stores with APK downloads and open-source code on GitHub, encouraging community contributions and customization, as highlighted in the installation and contributing sections.

Cons

Incomplete Feature Coverage

Some platforms like Gogs are still in development, and custom domain support for GitHub and Gitee is under review, limiting functionality for certain use cases based on the status table.

API Dependency Risks

Relies entirely on external APIs from each Git platform, making it susceptible to breaking changes or deprecations that could disrupt features without prompt updates.

Limited Git Functionality

Focuses on repository viewing and issue management rather than full Git command execution, which may not meet needs for advanced version control tasks on mobile.
