Repo
is a tool built on top of Git that makes it easier to manage projects that contain
multiple repositories which do not need to be on the same server.
Follow these steps to install the
repo
utility:
• Create a
bin
folder in the home directory
ubuntu@ubuntu-desktop:/# mkdir ~/bin (this step may not be needed if
the bin folder already exists)
ubuntu@ubuntu-desktop:/# curl https://storage.googleapis.com/git-repo-
downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo
ubuntu@ubuntu-desktop:/# chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
• Add the following line to the .bashrc file to ensure that the ~/bin folder is in your PATH
variable
ubuntu@ubuntu-desktop:/# export PATH=~/bin:$PATH
