A powerful Version Control Git integration plugin for Acode Editor that brings professional version control features directly to your Android device!.
This plugin requires Node.js and a Git server to function properly. The plugin WILL NOT WORK without these components.
Git Server Setup: The plugin now includes an automated server management system! Simply:
- Click the "Start Server" button in the sidebar
- The plugin will automatically:
- Install the Git server if not present
- Start the server automatically
Or
# install server
npm install -g @dikidjatar/git-server
# start server
git-serverThis plugin is engineered for performance and efficiency:
- ⚡ Optimized Architecture: Designed with client-server architecture for maximum speed
- 🎯 Performance Focused: Handles projects with up to 1,500 files smoothly
- 🚫 Not Recommended: For projects with more than 1,500 files (performance may degrade)
Unlike the previous version control plugin that used isomorphic-git directly in the browser (which was extremely slow), this plugin uses a dedicated Git server architecture that provides:
- Significantly faster Git operations
- Proper handling of large repositories
- Repository Management: Initialize, clone, and manage Git repositories
- Branch Operations: Create, switch, rename, and delete branches
- Staging & Commits: Interactive staging area with visual file status
- Remote Operations: Push, pull, fetch with authentication support
- File Management: Stage/unstage individual files or all changes
- File Tree Integration: Git status directly in Acode's file explorer
- Visual Status Indicators: Color-coded file status (Modified, Added, Deleted, Untracked adn Ignored)
- Branch Status Display: Current branch with change indicators
- Commit Templates: Auto-generated commit messages with file summaries
- Authentication: GitHub token support for private repositories
- Multi-remote Support: Work with multiple Git remotes
- Amend Commits: Modify your last commit easily
- Open Acode Editor on your Android device
- Go to Settings → Plugins
- Search for "Version Control Pro"
- Install and restart Acode
git clone https://github.com/dikidjatar/acode-plugin-version-control-gitpro
cd acode-plugin-version-control-gitpro

You'll need a Git server running on your device. We recommend using:
- Termux with Git server setup
- Acode Terminal with built-in Git support

http://localhost:3080) - Open Project: Open any folder in Acode
- Access Plugin: Tap the Source Control icon in the sidebar
- Initialize or Clone: Create a new repository or clone an existing one
Configure the plugin in Settings → Plugins → Version Control Pro:
{
serverUrl: "http://localhost:3080", // Your Git server URL
autoRefresh: true, // Auto-refresh on file changes
githubToken: "your_token_here", // For private repos
defaultBranchName: "main", // Default branch name
gitConfigUsername: "Your Name", // Git user name
gitConfigUserEmail: "[email protected]" // Git user email
