Git in Breadstick
Breadstick note
The Development bundle on Breadstick's Recommended apps screen sets up Git. Keep repositories in your Linux home folder: Android's shared folders are much slower with the many small files a repository holds. Git reaches remote servers over Android's own network connection, and a VPN connected in Android covers it too.
Breadstick runs Debian's own git package for ARM64, the build a Debian 13 computer with an ARM processor installs, so Git should behave as it does on a Linux PC. It is a command line program rather than an app with a window of its own: you run it by typing its command in Breadstick's Terminal, or in any terminal window on the Linux desktop, and it needs no Desktop or Floating session running.

Keep repositories in your Linux home folder, which is much faster than Android's shared folders for their many small files. Version control tools reach remote servers over Android's own network connection, a VPN connected in Android included. More in the docs: The Terminal.
About Git
From Debian's package description
Git is popular version control system designed to handle very large projects with speed and efficiency; it is used for many high profile open source projects, most notably the Linux kernel.
Git falls in the category of distributed source code management tools. Every Git working directory is a full-fledged repository with full revision tracking capabilities, not dependent on network access or a central server.
This package provides the git main components with minimal dependencies. Additional functionality, e.g. a graphical user interface and revision tree visualizer, tools for interoperating with other VCS's, or a web interface, is provided as separate git* packages.
From Debian's description of the git package, under that package's license.
