An open source GitHub Android client app, faster and concise.

Quick Overview

FastHub is an open-source Android application that serves as a feature-rich client for GitHub. It provides a mobile-friendly interface for accessing GitHub repositories, issues, pull requests, and other GitHub features, allowing users to manage their GitHub activities on the go.

Pros

Comprehensive GitHub functionality in a mobile app
Clean and intuitive user interface
Supports multiple GitHub accounts
Regular updates and active community support

Cons

Limited to Android platform (no iOS version)
May consume more battery due to background syncing
Some advanced GitHub features may not be fully implemented
Occasional sync issues reported by some users

Getting Started

To use FastHub:

Download the app from the Google Play Store or build it from source.
Open the app and sign in with your GitHub account.
Grant necessary permissions for the app to access your GitHub data.
Explore repositories, issues, and pull requests directly from your Android device.

For developers who want to contribute to FastHub:

Fork the repository on GitHub.
Clone your fork: git clone https://github.com/your-username/FastHub.git
Open the project in Android Studio.
Make your changes and submit a pull request to the main repository.

Note: As FastHub is an Android application and not a code library, code examples are not applicable in this context.

Competitor Comparisons

ForkHub

2,786

GitHub client for Android based on the abandoned official app

Pros of ForkHub

Simpler and more lightweight interface
Focuses on core GitHub functionality
Open-source with a permissive license (Apache 2.0)

Cons of ForkHub

Less frequently updated compared to FastHub
Fewer advanced features and integrations
Limited support for newer GitHub features

Code Comparison

ForkHub (Java):

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.repo_list);
    setTitle(getString(R.string.bookmarks));
}

FastHub (Kotlin):

override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
    hideShowShadow(true)
    val view = view
    if (view is SwipeRefreshLayout) {
        view.setOnRefreshListener(this)
    }
}

ForkHub offers a straightforward approach with a focus on simplicity, while FastHub provides more advanced features and a modern Kotlin implementation. FastHub generally offers a richer set of features and more frequent updates, making it suitable for users who require a more comprehensive GitHub mobile experience. However, ForkHub's simplicity and lightweight nature may appeal to users who prefer a more streamlined approach to GitHub interactions on mobile devices.

OpenHub

4,232

An open source GitHub Android client app, faster and concise.

Pros of OpenHub

More recent updates and active development
Better support for newer GitHub features
Cleaner and more modern user interface

Cons of OpenHub

Smaller user base and community support
Fewer advanced features compared to FastHub
Less comprehensive documentation

Code Comparison

FastHub:

@Override
public void onItemClick(int position, View v, Issue item) {
    if (item.getPullRequest() != null) {
        PullRequestPagerActivity.startActivity(getContext(), item.getNumber(), item.getRepoId(), item.getLogin());
    } else {
        IssuesPagerActivity.startActivity(getContext(), item.getLogin(), item.getRepoId(), item.getNumber(), false);
    }
}

OpenHub:

@Override
public void onItemClick(int position, View v, Issue issue) {
    if (issue.isPullRequest()) {
        PullRequestActivity.show(getActivity(), issue.getRepoOwner(), issue.getRepoName(), issue.getNumber());
    } else {
        IssueDetailActivity.show(getActivity(), issue.getRepoOwner(), issue.getRepoName(), issue.getNumber());
    }
}

Both repositories offer similar functionality for handling issue and pull request clicks, but OpenHub's code appears slightly more concise and uses separate activities for issues and pull requests.

gh4a

Github client for Android

Pros of gh4a

Longer development history and more established codebase
Supports a wider range of GitHub features and functionalities
More frequent updates and active maintenance

Cons of gh4a

Less modern user interface compared to FastHub
Slightly slower performance on some devices
Fewer customization options for user experience

Code Comparison

gh4a:

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    setTheme(Gh4Application.THEME);
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);
    mDrawerLayout = findViewById(R.id.drawer);
}

FastHub:

override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)
    if (savedInstanceState == null) {
        supportFragmentManager.beginTransaction()
            .replace(R.id.container, FeedsFragment())
            .commit()
    }
}

The code snippets show differences in language (Java vs. Kotlin) and initialization approaches. gh4a uses a custom theme and sets up a drawer layout, while FastHub focuses on fragment transactions for its main activity.

FAQ

Why can't I see my Organizations either Private or Public ones?

Open up https://github.com/settings/applications and look for FastHub, open it then scroll to Organization access and click on Grant Button, alternatively login via Access Token which will ease this setup.

I tried to login via Access Token & OTP but why isn't it working?

You can't login via Access Token & OTP all together due to the lifetime of the OTP code, you'll be required to login in every few seconds.

Why are my Private Repo and Enterprise Wiki not showing up?

It's due to FastHub scraping GitHub Wiki page & Private Repos require session token that FastHub doesn't have.

I login with Enterprise account but can't interact with anything other than my Enterprise GitHub.

Well, logically, you can't access anything else other than your Enterprise, but FastHub made that possible but can't do much about it, in most cases since your login credential doesn't exists in GitHub server. But in few cases your GitHub account Oauth token will do the trick.

Why am I having problems editing Issues/PRs?

If you are unable to edit an issue in a public organization, please contact your Organization Admin to grant access to FastHub. Alternatively you can login using an Access Token with the correct permissions granted.

I'm having this issue! / I want this and that!

Head to https://github.com/k0shk0sh/FastHub/issues/new and create new issue for bugs or feature requests. I really encourage you to search before opening a ticket. Any duplicate request will result in it being closed immediately.
