TLDR; A simple Windows desktop app I developed for syncing a local folder with a GitHub repository, without needing Git installed.
github.com
How does this apply to B4X?
The app supports the command-line so you can push via Macros or ide links.
The UI is inspired by WinSCP so you can set up "Projects" (ie repos). The project can be referenced in the command-line interaction.
Aimed at solo developers and non-technical users who want to use GitHub for file backup and sharing but find Git, SSH keys, and the command line intimidating. If you just want to keep a folder in sync with a repo and don't need branching, merging, or a full Git workflow, PushPull gets out of the way and lets you do that with a few clicks.
Good for: scripts and config files you want backed up offsite, sharing assets between machines, lightweight version history without learning Git, or anywhere a full Git client feels like overkill.
