Termux:Styling (version 0.30): Customize your Termux terminal

termux: terminal.

On Android, I run servers under Termux, e.g., DNS and HTTPS proxy.

Another use is checking email without using a browser or an app. I use a tiny shell script to check for new mail with openssl. It prints out the messages to the terminal as plain text. Termux has good scrolling so its easy enough to read. This allows me to keep email out of the browser and email messages off the phone, generally.

Available from F-Droid.

I believe Termux is still quite popular among some HN readers. I noticed someone submitted Termux-GUI plugin just the other day https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33011500

Also: Whilst it's not the same as native Linux directly available, and the many, many limitations and frustrations of Android still apply, Termux can be installed on the BOOX (via F-Droid), and provides excellent capabilities.

Over 2,200 packages now.

You could simply use your mobile phone's internet connection for external analysis. Hotspot, tether, or, if you have an Android device, just install Termux, which will give you access to many of the common network

Use termux app, it’s a terminal emulator where you can install node and stuff. I’ve done it before. https://termux.com

Termux is a linux terminal for your android. It also includes a package manager using which you can install many packages including ruby. The first step is to download and install termux. Do not download from play store. The play store version is pretty outdated. Get it from FDroid or github

On the plus side, I learned about Mgit from this article. Added it to the wiki!

MGit is one of, if not the only, useful Android Git client. There's some apps that include a Git client, but they're text editors, language runtimes, etc, and this is just a Git client.

MGit (version 1.6.1): View and interact with git repositories

Does it have to be a single app? You could use your editors for editing, and then use termux or mgit for git

Obsidian is a PKM (Personal Knowledge Management) tool that provides a sleek UI to Markdown files. It had the best mobile experience, for me, out of the apps I tested. Though it doesn't have git support built-in, other mobile apps can assist in providing that backend. I recommend MGit (Android).

Not sure what your issue might have been, but I have a similar setup (MGit + GitHub private repo) and this thread helped me solve my auth issues.
