Always take your brain extension with you!
RoboBoy is a sister project of Vimboy, and serves exactly the same purpose: Managing a personal wiki of interlinked text files. It can synchronize with any Git server via Public Key Authentication.
Have a recent Android SDK, and ant. Clone this repo, connect your device, issue
ant debug install
Warning: This is still quite hacky. Enable developer access on your phone.
You need a Git repository that can be accessed via SSH key authentication. I recommend gitolite for managing those on your own server. For testing purposes, a public GitHub repository works as well.
On your computer, generate a new SSH key pair with
ssh-keygen -f phone -N ""
Passphrases are not supported yet. Give the new key read/write permission to your repository. Now, copy the key pair to your android device with
adb push phone /sdcard/.ssh/phone
adb push phone.pub /sdcard/.ssh/phone.pub
In RoboBoy's settings, specify the key's location, choose a name and email address for new commits, return to the main screen and sync away!
On my main computer, I use this script to sync and merge with the phone branch:
git add -A
git commit -m "Sync"
git fetch
git merge origin/phone && git push
