Git Nex FAQ
Can links from the browser open directly in GitNex?
Starting with version 11.0.0, GitNex supports a custom URL scheme. Using a third-party app called URL Check, links to issues, pull requests, commits, profiles, and repositories can be opened in GitNex. The README gives a JSON configuration for URL Check that covers codeberg.org, gitea.com, and gitea.io, and the regex can be edited to add other instances.
Can GitNex connect to a self-hosted server?
The app's homepage text describes it as a client for Forgejo, Gitea, or a custom hosted server. From version 12.0.0, it supports HTTP Basic Authentication for servers behind reverse proxies such as nginx or Apache.
Where can GitNex be installed from?
The repository tags list F-Droid and the Google Play Store as distribution sources. The README also describes building the app from source by opening the project in Android Studio or running ./gradlew assembleFree from a terminal.
