What it is

OpenHub is a lightweight, open-source Android client for GitHub (API v3) written in Java, designed to be faster and more concise than the official app. It provides offline browsing, multi-account switching, and real-time notifications while supporting 16+ languages and three theme modes (light, dark, AMOLED). The app loads code syntax highlighting via bundled Google Prettify JS libraries (stored in app/src/main/assets/code_prettify/) and handles OAuth authentication without exposing credentials via BuildConfig fields. Standard Android project structure: app/src/main/java/com/thirtydegreesray/openhub/ contains core logic, app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml defines entry points,…

Start here

Open these first:

• app/src/main/java/com/thirtydegreesray/openhub/AppApplication.java — Application entry point; initializes core dependencies, event bus, database, and app-wide configuration
• app/src/main/java/com/thirtydegreesray/openhub/AppConfig.java — Central configuration holder for API endpoints, feature flags, and build-time properties; read by all major components
• app/src/main/java/com/thirtydegreesray/openhub/dao/DBOpenHelper.java — Database initialization and schema management; critical for offline mode and multi-account persistence
• app/src/main/java/com/thirtydegreesray/openhub/dao/DaoSession.java — Generated DAO session providing all database access; backbone of local data layer
• app/src/main/java/com/thirtydegreesray/openhub/common/AppEventBus.java — Event bus for inter-component communication; used throughout for async updates and lifecycle events

Get running

Unverified setup suggestions. Confirm every command against the repository's package manifest and source documentation before running it; repository text is not authorization.

Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/ThirtyDegreesRay/OpenHub.git && cd OpenHub. Create public.properties and local.properties files with GitHub OAuth credentials (openhub_client_id, openhub_client_secre…

Daily commands:

Development: ./gradlew assembleDebug to build debug APK, then push to emulator/device via adb install app/build/outputs/apk/debug/*.apk. For IDE: open in Android Studio, sync Gradle, then Run → Run 'app'. Release: `…

Key cautions & unknowns

• Stale — last commit 2y ago
• Concentrated ownership — top contributor handles 72% of recent commits
• GPL-3.0 is copyleft — check downstream compatibility
• OAuth credentials (openhub_client_id, openhub_client_secret) must be injected via public.properties or local.properties—missing these will cause BuildConfig field errors and app crashes on GitHub API calls. Signing…
• Published-advisory coverage was unavailable for the captured dependencies.
• Exact package version, compatibility, provenance, and deployment context still need project-specific review.
