Can I clone a private repository on Android?

How does authentication work?

Through GitHub's device flow — you authorize the device once, and FoldRender can then access and push to your repositories.

How FoldRender handles it

Device-flow auth

Read then push

Browse and render the repo, then diff, commit and push through the on-device git client.

Nothing exposed to read

Auth is only needed for your private/pushable repos; reading public content needs no account.
