Android and Github

How to use github for android developmen

Local manifest

In .repo create a file called local_manifest.xml to replace the original parts with your github forks. It should look like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest>  
  <remove-project name="Andromadus/android_frameworks_base" path="frameworks/base" />
  <project name="guhl/android_frameworks_base" path="frameworks/base" revision="jellybean" />
  <remove-project name="Andromadus/android_packages_apps_Settings" path="packages/apps/Settings" />
  <project name="guhl/android_packages_apps_Settings" path="packages/apps/Settings" revision="jellybean" />
</manifest>

Local branch and push

Create your local branch to work on:

git remote add origin git@github.com:guhl/android_frameworks_base.git
git remote show origin
