But both Android [1] and iOS [2] clients have git functionality built-in. You just swipe it up (for iOS) or press sync (and swipe too, don’t remember if it works on Android) and it syncs. A couple of iOS notes: - The iOS app has a nasty bug, when you have not the latest repo on your iPhone, it cannot merge changes. So I recommend syncing your repo first, and then add new passwords from your mobile. IIRC, Android has no issues with that, but I’m not sure here. - If you have a complicated ssh key (I have gpg-key for that) the iOS client doesn’t work properly. Could also have issues with other keys. IIRC, it’s the iOS issue. So I use a very special iPhone-only key that I added to my GitLab repo, where my passwords are stored. I generated the key with `ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -m PEM -f /tmp/id_rsa` and transferred it to my iPhone via iTunes
