Adding a local git repository in Android's manifest.xml

[Srinidhi K V]

Hi All,

I am trying to add a local GIT repository to the current Android repository.

What I am shooting for? 

When I use "repo sync mylocalproject" It should sync from the local git repository (say ~/repositories/mylocalproject)

What did I try?

1. I added a remote in .repo/manifests/default.xml

<remote   name="myremote"

               fetch="/home/srinidhi/repositories/" />

and

<project path="external/mylocalproject" name="platform/external/mylocalproject" remote="myremote" />

2. Added mylocalproject in projects.list

3. Added mylocalproject.git in .repo/projects/external/

4. When I tried repo sync mylocalproject, I hit an error saying project not found.

Can any one help to resolve this issue?

Thanks

Srinidhi

That file is automatically updated by Repo. Don't bother changing it.

Judging by your later message in another thread it would seem that this
problem has been resolved, right?
