Dear all,


I have to download android source code on my university pc. I start the process in the morning  and can only continue it till 7. The problem is that I am unable to complete the download in this time frame. Is there any work around through which I can resume  download the  next day. Thank you



Regards,
Mahnoor

Hi,

The Android project is composed of many smaller git repositories.
It shouldn't be an issue to stop the sync process and resume it later.
You can also use --partial-clone that only downloads git objects when needed.


Regards,
Alessio

You can kill the repo sync and restart it later. It will check what you have downloaded already and continue downloading the rest of the repo.
