Setting up the project

Building

• Clone the repository
• Important: github.com requires client-id and client-secret to access its API. These are included in the store version of the apps however these have been removed from the repository (for obvious reasons). You would have to add your own API Keys (client-id and secret) to run GitIt locally. The location of the files to you have to change are:

<Project_Root>/GithubXamarin.UWP/Assets/ClientId.txt

<Project_Root>/GithubXamarin.UWP/Assets/ClientSecret.txt

<Project_Root>/GithubXamarin.Droid/Resources/ClientId.txt

<Project_Root>/GithubXamarin.Droid/Resources/ClientSecret.txt

For Windows:

• Use x86 config to run app on your local machine.
• Use ARM config to run app on your mobile device.
• Using Anyconfig can cause problems on various devices.

For Android:

• You can use any CPU config to run the app.

Recommended Tools
