FAQ

When I try to sync with repo I get fetch errors.

This can occur when you are running an old version of repo or if an external issue causes the sync to fail (such as a timeout).

To resolve this make sure you have the latest version of repo.

curl https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo > ~/bin/repo
chmod a+x ~/bin/repo

Than from your working directory remove the old repo binaries and manifest.

rm -rf .repo/repo
rm -rf .repo/manifests .repo/manifests.git .repo/manifest.xml

After that reinitialize the repo according to the directions included with your manifest of choice.

If you still have issues after that repeat the above rm commands and try initializing the repo again with http in place of git (or vice verse if already using http)

How can I cancel a failed sync or build that isn't exiting on it's own?

More common with syncing than building but it is relatively possible.

In most cases unless the machine is entirely locked up; try holding down 'ctrl' and 'z'

I have some code I would like to contribute, how can I go about this?

Assuming you have already tested your code and confirmed it's working you will want to familiarize yourself with git.

Github:Help has an extensive help page setup with all this information

In addition to the above Github and Code School have recently created an interactive git tutorial: Try Git

Once you are setup fork the offending repo and open a pull request. One of us will check it (when able) and barring errors likely merge it.

Where can I find the right gapps package?

At goo.im of course...
