Alur Kerja Kontrol Sumber

Working with Android code requires using Git (an open-source version control system) and Repo (a Google-built repository management tool that runs on top of Git). See Source Control Tools for an explanation of the relationship between Repo and Git and links to supporting documentation for each tool.

Flow

Android development involves the following basic workflow:

1. Start a new topic branch using repo start.
2. Edit the files.
3. Stage changes using git add.
4. Commit changes using git commit.
5. Upload changes to the review server using repo upload.

Tasks

Working with Git and Repo in the Android code repositories involves performing the following common tasks.

Command	Description
repo init	Initializes a new client.
repo sync	Syncs the client to the repositories.
repo start	Starts a new branch.
repo status	Shows the status of the current branch.
repo upload	Uploads changes to the review server.
git add	Stages the files.
git commit	Commits the staged files.
git branch	Shows the current branches.
git branch [branch]	Creates a new topic branch.
git checkout [branch]	Switches HEAD to the specified branch.
git merge [branch]	Merges [branch] into current branch.
git diff	Shows diff of the unstaged changes.
git diff --cached	Shows diff of the staged changes.
git log	Shows the history of the current branch.
git log m/[codeline]..	Shows the commits that aren't pushed.

Synchronizing clients

To synchronize the files for all available projects:

repo sync

To synchronize the files for selected projects:

repo sync PROJECT0 PROJECT1 ... PROJECTN

Creating topic branches

Start a topic branch in your local work environment whenever you begin a change, such as when you begin work on a bug or new feature. A topic branch is not a copy of the original files; it's a pointer to a particular commit, which makes creating local branches and switching among them a lightweight operation. By using branches, you can isolate one aspect of your work from the others. For an interesting article about using topic branches, refer to Separating topic branches.

To start a topic branch using Repo, navigate to the project and run:

repo start BRANCH_NAME .

The trailing period (.) represents the project in the current working directory.

To verify that the new branch was created:

repo status .

Using topic branches

To assign the branch to a specific project:

repo start BRANCH_NAME PROJECT_NAME

For a list of all projects, refer to android.googlesource.com. If you've already navigated to the project directory, just use a period to represent the current project.

To switch to another branch in your local work environment:

git checkout BRANCH_NAME

To view a list of existing branches:

git branch

or

repo branches

Both commands return the list of existing branches with the name of the current branch preceded by an asterisk (*).

Note: A bug might cause repo sync to reset the local topic branch. If git branch shows * (no branch) after you run repo sync, run git checkout again.

Staging files

By default, Git notices but doesn't track the changes that you make in a project. To tell Git to preserve your changes, you must mark or stage those changes for inclusion in a commit.

To stage changes:

git add

This command accepts arguments for files or directories within the project directory. Despite the name, git add doesn't just add files to the Git repository; it can also be used to stage file modifications and deletions.

Viewing client status

To list the state of files:

repo status

To view uncommitted edits (local edits that are not marked for commit):

repo diff

To view committed edits (located edits that are marked for commit), ensure that you're in the project directory then run git diff with the cached argument:

cd ~/WORKING_DIRECTORY/PROJECT
git diff --cached

Committing changes

A commit is the basic unit of revision control in Git and consists of a snapshot of the directory structure and file contents for the entire project. To create a commit in Git:

git commit

When prompted for a commit message, provide a short (but helpful) message for changes submitted to AOSP. If you don't add a commit message, the commit aborts.

Uploading changes to Gerrit

Update to the latest revision, then upload the change:

repo sync
repo upload

These commands return a list of changes you have committed and prompt you to select the branches to upload to the review server. If there's only one branch, you see a simple y/n prompt.

Resolving sync conflicts

If the repo sync command returns sync conflicts:

1. View the files that are unmerged (status code = U).
2. Edit the conflict regions as necessary.
3. Change to the relevant project directory. Add and commit the affected files, then rebase the changes:

   git add .
   git commit
   git rebase --continue
   

4. After the rebase completes, start the entire sync again:

   repo sync PROJECT0 PROJECT1 ... PROJECTN
   

Cleaning up clients

After merging changes to Gerrit, update your local working directory, then use repo prune to safely remove stale topic branches:

repo sync
repo prune

Deleting clients

Because all state information is stored in your client, you only need to delete the directory from your file system:

rm -rf WORKING_DIRECTORY

Deleting a client permanently deletes any changes you haven't uploaded for review.
