Mark3 repo manifest

This repository contains the git repository manifest that can be initialized and managed using Google's Repo tool.

This tool gives developers the ability to incorporate a variety of components together from different sources, as independent Git repositories. It's an effective means for managing large projects, as demonstrated by its usage in AOSP. While most Mark3 projects will be exponentially smaller than AOSP, many will still involve tools/source/libraries based on multiple Git repos. As a result, using Repo makes sense, particularly if you want to avoid relying on Git's submodule functionality, or wish to integrate with the Gerrit code review system.

Requirements

Before the Mark3 repo manifest can be used, the developer must first install the Repo tool. See the instructions Here for details and dependencies.

Initializing the repo client

(Note - these instructions are largely based on the instructions Here)

Once the Repo tool has been initialized, it's straightforward to initialize the Mark3 repo manifest at a specific location:

1. Create a directory where you wish to initialize your repository.

    $ mkdir mark3-code
    $ cd mark3-code

2. Set Git configuration

    $ git config --global user.name "Your Name"
    $ git config --global user.email "your@email.com"

3. Run repo init in the target directory

    $ repo init -u ssh://git@github.com/moslevin/mark3-repo --no-clone-bundle

Downloading code

An initialized repository client can download and synchronize the individual git repositories specified in the manifest by running the following command:

    $ repo sync
