How to download only a working directory of the AOSP source code without the entire repo history?


The size of the latest AOSP source code is rather large (around 30-35 Gb for the .repo directory and another 15 Gb or so for the working directory). Is there a way to download only a snapshot of the latest version of the source code (official marshmallow release) without the entire repo history? That would save me a lot in bandwidth and storage.


Solution

  • You can specify --depth 1 to git clone command. It will only get the latest snapshot.
