HTTP

Agit supports Smart HTTP git connections, which is useful for firewalled environments where SSH isn't possible, or for code hosts like Google Code that don't support SSH access at all.

For authenticated HTTP connections, Agit will prompt you for your username and password if required, but you can skip having to enter these every time you make a connection by including them in your clone url, like this:

https://username:password@example.com/foo/bar.git

eg.
https://rtyley:mypassword@github.com/rtyley/enigma.git
https://roberto.tyley:mypassword@code.google.com/p/test-for-agit/

NB: these credentials will be stored as plaintext within the git metadata of your repo on the sdcard, where - in principle - they could be read by a rogue app on your device.

However it does offer the convenience of not having to enter your credentials every time - and Agit will omit the password from the url when displaying it within the app.
