While reading and watching videos of the android I thought jitpack and jetpack are similar things and I was pretty much confused to see a similar word with a different meaning. But I wanted to get a much clearer concept on it if anyone is willing to offer his TIME to help me differentiate them. I am a little bit nubee to Android. Thanks!

    A google search would suffice here. Jitpack.io is package repository, like mavenCentral / jCenter. It's a place from where you get libraries. Android Jetpack is kind of a set of libraries created by Google for Android. – Rick Sanchez Apr 25 '19 at 18:11

    Yes @RickSanchez, that's what I am saying. As you said, they are both library sets. Or else the Jitpack.io is not created by Google and the Jetpack is created by Google. a little bit confusing. Thanks! – Kidus Tekeste Apr 25 '19 at 18:27
  • "A google search would suffice here" - and now a google search gives this page as the top result, and this page gives a clearer and simpler answer to the question than any of the other results. Well done team, the system is working. – user56reinstatemonica8 Oct 31 '22 at 10:50

Jetpack is the brand name for a series of libraries and tools from Google to help developers use modern Android programming techniques.

Jitpack.io is a service for publishing libraries based on a GitHub repository.
