          Unless I am mistaken, the solution is Libertine

            You need to make the system writeable via the mount command or via Ubuntu Touch Tweak Tool 😉

            But...

            I am not sure if it's a good idea to install Git Tools this way : You might break your system doing so!

            So indeed : Use Libertine just to be sure that nothing breaks! 😉 :thumbs_up_light_skin_tone: :thumbs_up_light_skin_tone:

            My phones :

            • BQ Aquaris E5 HD Ubuntu Phone Edition - Ubuntu Touch 16.04 LTS
            • ZUK Z2 Pro - ZUI Android 8.x
            • Xiaomi Mi 9T - Jolla SailFish 3.4.x Community Build

            P.S. : I am NOT a developer! ;)

              @amy I suggest you to install the Seabass2 app available in the OpenStore and then create a Libertine container from within the app itself: it will automatically install git, even if not a very up to date version.
