how to git commit in java (both android and linux/Win) ? Eventually through gitlab REST api?

Question

I'm looking for advice to implement a Java method to commit and push to gitlab, which works both on android (old SDK, small footprint) and linux/windows. I'm not asking for a library that fully implements the git protocol: just the basic commit/push is enough.

I'm aware there are several options:

• Using jgit: but it apparently has problems with android
• Using gitlab REST api: I know of the doc but it's not clear for me how to implement a java method that would reproduce the "git commit" CLI, and I find it bizarre that you need to POST the full file content (instead of just the diff): what about 1GB files ?

Thanks a lot for your help !
