Are there any open source apps that can version control text files in Android? I don't necessarily need something with lots of features like Git. Even something similar to RCS would be sufficient for me.

There's one based on Git, but haven't been updated for a while: Git Journal

Using git it's probably the most easy and lightweight method to VC plain text, and you will probably just need to use the git commit command most of the time.

I personally just use a bash script and run it through Tasker and Termux to sync my text notes to GitHub.

Really? I am currently using RCS for my simpler version control needs, and Git for larger and collaborative projects.
