## Description

GitSync is an Android git client designed to keep a local folder in sync with a remote repository. It runs in the background with a simple one-time setup and supports both automatic and manual syncing.

Key features include authentication with HTTPS, SSH, or OAuth (GitHub, Gitea, GitLab); cloning a remote repository; and full sync operations (fetch, pull, stage & commit, push) plus merge-conflict resolution. Sync can be automatic (when an app opens or closes, on a schedule, via a quick tile, or through advanced intents) or manual. Repository settings cover signed commits, customizable commit messages, author details, editing .gitignore and .git/info/exclude files, and an optional SSL override. Documentation and privacy policy links are provided, and the Accessibility Service is disclosed with no data stored or shared; users can disable the permissions at any time.
