Termux Developer's Wiki

General information about using Termux build environment, porting packages and maintaining APT repository.

User's Wiki available at https://wiki.termux.com/wiki/Main_Page.

Git repos

The main termux app, the addon apps, are hosted here at github in these repositories:

• termux-app
• termux-api
• termux-boot
• termux-float
• termux-styling
• termux-tasker

The build scripts for packages are also hosted here at github in termux-packages and various other repositories.

We maintain a mirror of our projects on Gitlab (https://gitlab.com/termux-mirror).

Git branches

The repositories with build scripts for packages have two main branches.

1. Branch "master":

   Main source tree with packages built for Android API 24. Therefore this branch also referred as android-7.

   Corresponds to APT repository https://dl.bintray.com/termux/termux-packages-24/.

2. Branch "android-5":

   Discontinued!

   Legacy source tree with packages built for Android API 21 and used for supporting devices with old Android versions.

   Corresponds to APT repository https://termux.net.
