Checking out Metalava

Metalava can be downloaded from the metalava-master manifest branch via repo as explained below

To check out metalava-master using repo:

1. Install repo (Repo is a tool that makes it easier to download multiple Git repositories at once. For more information about Repo, see the Repo Command Reference)

mkdir ~/bin
PATH=~/bin:$PATH
curl https://storage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo
chmod a+x ~/bin/repo

2. Configure Git with your real name and email address.

git config --global user.name "Your Name"
git config --global user.email "you@example.com"

3. Create a directory for your checkout (it can be any name)

mkdir metalava-master
cd metalava-master

4. Use repo command to initialize the repository.

repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b metalava-master

5. Now your repository is configured to pull only what you need for building and running Metalava. Download the code (this may take some time; the checkout is about 1.7G):

repo sync -j8 -c

Checking out aosp/master instead:

For anyone that is already working in the aosp/master branch, you can use that repo checkout instead. For small changes to metalava, this is not recommended - it is a very large checkout, with many dependencies not used by metalava.

Developing

See also README.md for details about building and running Metalava after you have checked out the code.
