main: improve launcher update messaging wrt system installs Some users get repo from their distro (e.g. /usr/bin/repo), so the suggestion to copy over top of it makes people uneasy, if it's even possible in the first place. Bug: https://crbug.com/gerrit/12335 Change-Id: I9a0c83d6ba0f466fa8e6d61f674ee13396f9a968 Reviewed-on: https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/c/git-repo/+/256893 Tested-by: Mike Frysinger <vapier@google.com> Reviewed-by: David Pursehouse <dpursehouse@collab.net>
Repo is a tool built on top of Git. Repo helps manage many Git repositories, does the uploads to revision control systems, and automates parts of the development workflow. Repo is not meant to replace Git, only to make it easier to work with Git. The repo command is an executable Python script that you can put anywhere in your path.
Please use the repo-discuss mailing list or issue tracker for questions.
You can file a new bug report under the “repo” component.
Please do not e-mail individual developers for support. They do not have the bandwidth for it, and often times questions have already been asked on repo-discuss or bugs posted to the issue tracker. So please search those sites first.
Many distros include repo, so you might be able to install from there.
# Debian/Ubuntu. $ sudo apt-get install repo # Gentoo. $ sudo emerge dev-vcs/repo
You can install it manually as well as it's a single script.
$ mkdir -p ~/.bin $ PATH="${HOME}/.bin:${PATH}" $ curl https://storage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/.bin/repo $ chmod a+rx ~/.bin/repo
