Quick start

Clone a remote repository

1. Click on the + icon to add a new repository
2. Enter remote URL (see URL format below)

   repositories in the same local directory (can be changed in MGit settings)
4. Click the Clone button
5. If required, you will be prompted for credentials to connect to the remote repo. MGit will download the repository (all branches) to your device

• SSH running on non-standard port: ssh://username@server_name:port/path/to/repo
• username is needed - by default, MGit tries to connect as root.
