@Nichokas: thanks for opening up this issue!

Support android-arm

Could you share more about how you use GitHub CLI on android-arm?

I think this might be a slightly larger request as android-arm isn't one of the distributions natively supported by the GitHub CLI or cli/gh-extension-precompile.

If you are looking for mobile support, I recommend following GitHub Copilot for Mobile as I believe this has an early 2024 Q2 launch date.

Sorry for the late reply, I would use it in termiux to control repositories and upload code that I have modified from termux, because if it is a private repository I cannot upload code unless I use github-cli and login

[Nichokas]

Termiux is like a linux console but for android mobiles.

@andyfeller I'm not sure that's true for termux. Here's where the CLI documents Android support: https://github.com/cli/cli/blob/trunk/docs/install_linux.md#android (and here it is in the termux pkg repo: https://packages.termux.dev/apt/termux-main/pool/main/g/gh/)

And here's where gh-extension-precompile supports android: https://github.com/cli/gh-extension-precompile/blob/b0da21c1042c79394bfb66a6c320bb1e360b876a/build_and_release.sh#L5-L6

And the blob is listed for the gh-copilot release: https://github.com/github/gh-copilot/releases/tag/v1.0.1

In fact I'd like to know what's not supported here @Nichokas? What happens that this doesn't work?

2 months ago when I reported it I didn't support android-arm but it seems that now it does
