• Installing repo

Repo is a tool that makes it easier to work with Git in the context of Android.

$ mkdir ~/bin
$ PATH=~/bin:$PATH

$ curl https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo > ~/bin/repo
$ chmod a+x ~/bin/repo

As you can see , it just get repository related script form https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo and make excutable

• Initializing a Repo client

First make working directory, in my case

$ mkdir ~/android
$ cd ~/android

then initialize repository.

$ repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest

It shows below error at first time

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
*** Please tell me who you are.
Run
  git config --global user.email "you@example.com"
  git config --global user.name "Your Name"
to set your account's default identity.
Omit --global to set the identity only in this repository.
fatal: empty ident  <dokyun@redbomb-server.(none)> not allowed-----------------------------------------------------------------------

as you can see on the error message, type your email and name

$ git config --global user.email "dokyun.beon@gmail.com"
$ git config --global user.name "dokyun beon"

then excute again
$ repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest
$ repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b android-4.0.1_r1
$ repo sync

as you can see, down load is done
