repo: command not found?

repo: command not found? - android

I am new to git and repo. I am in window 7 so I use cygwin. I have installed git from cygwin setup. After that I try to repo with the following command in cygwin.
$ repo init-u git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/manifest.git
I get an error like these:
bash: repo: command not found
I think I need to setup cygwin for repo. What do I need next to get repo?

Case 1: Not installed google repo yet?
mkdir ~/bin
PATH=~/bin:$PATH
curl https://storage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo
chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
Use the following checksums when required:
For version 1.25 it is
d06f33115aea44e583c8669375b35aad397176a411de3461897444d247b6c220
For version 1.26, it is 0cf5f52bcafb8e1d3ba0271b087312f6117b824af272bedd4ee969d52363a86b
Case 2: Already have google repo Installed, still wondering what went wrong ?
Add
PATH=~/bin:$PATH to the end of file ~/.bashrc
and then run
source ~/.bashrc

You still need to install repo. repo is a third party tool built on top of git. See:
http://source.android.com/source/downloading.html
for how to install

I have the same problem and I have to do:
$ PATH=~/bin:$PATH every time I repo sync but at least it works.

add line
export PATH=~/bin:$PATH in file ~/.bashrc

edit .bash_profile and uncomment these fields. (any text editor will do)
# Set PATH so it includes user's private bin if it exists
# if [ -d "${HOME}/bin" ] ; then
# PATH="${HOME}/bin:${PATH}"
# fi
Restart CYGWIN.

Check and see if you have both .profile & .bash_profile in the working directory.
If you do, it's possible that the export command in both is actually conflicting in your shell. Making the output look something like this in Windows...
PATH="C:/Windows/path/to/repo/Windows/path/to/repo:$PATH"
export PATH
That's what happened to my bash shell anyway. It is correct that the 2 files interact with Bash or Cygwin differently, however if you have redundant inputs, they will compile together...

This answer for android build system error
For Python 3
If you get a "/usr/bin/env 'python' no such file or directory" error message, use one of the following solutions:
If your Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS is a newly installed (vs. upgraded) Linux version:
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/python
f using Git version 2.19 or greater, you can specify --partial-clone when performing repo init. This makes use of Git's partial clone capability to only download Git objects when needed, instead of downloading everything. Because using partial clones means that many operations must communicate with the server, use the following if you're a developer and you're using a network with low latency:
repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b master --partial-clone --clone-filter=blob:limit=10M

Stock Android OS downloading [AOSP] and sync issue

I have started my AOSP download with lot of hiccups.
I followed the google official site instructions.
$ mkdir ~/aosp/bin
$ PATH=~/aosp/bin:$PATH
$ curl https://storage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/aosp/bin/repo
$ chmod a+x ~/aosp/bin/repo
$ mkdir zero
$ cd zero
$ git config --global user.name "Your Name"
$ git config --global user.email "you#example.com
$ repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b android-4.4.2_r1
$ repo sync -j2 -f
As of now my .repo folder is 40GB and sync is still on its been 2 days. Please can anybody help me, all I need is KitKat OS.
Also could anyone enlighten me about project-object and project directories in repo directory.
Thanks in advance

When you do:
repo sync -j2 -f
You are synchronizing everything, which is huge. Give this a try:
repo sync -j8 -c
This will only synch the initialized manifest, which is not as big. When you don't specify a manifest name with -m option, if falls to look for default.xml, which as I can see in https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest/+/refs/heads/android-4.4.2_r1 that's the manifest file for the branch you want.
Also -j specifies the threads used, nowadays you can give -j8 at least a try.
With -f you force the download, this does not affect on the size of what you download, nor the speed. You can drop it if desired.
Hope it helps!

After a week's struggle completed the repo sync of KITKAT OS from google. even though you select only a particular OS, It will go upto 58 GB. Out of that 58 GB your KITKAT OS will be only of 9.5 GB. Rest is your .repo in your WORKING DIRECTORY. After sync is complete you will find your OS source in your WORKING DIRECTORY along side .repo.
STEPS:
$ mkdir ~/bin
$ PATH=~/bin:$PATH
$ curl https://storage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo
$ chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
$ mkdir WORKING_DIRECTORY
$ cd WORKING_DIRECTORY
$ git config --global user.name "Your Name"
$ git config --global user.email "you#example.com"
$ repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b OS version
check with google's "source code tags and build" page to select your OS version.
$ repo sync -j18 -c
flags that can be used with repo sync
sync-j - The value for this will be the number of threads to use when syncing the system. Parallelization helps get the job done quicker, but could also get the computer or the network stuck. Using 4 threads is what commonly used for syncing.
sync-c - syncing only the current branch/tag from git. This will checkout for each project only the current branch/tag that we specify for it, and not any other branches that exists on the repository. This will help save some space and bandwidth (and also time), but if you’ll need to switch between branches on a specific project later on - you’ll need to fetch it manually.
it took 8 days for me to get this done as my internet speed is slow (100kbps).
Thank you #Olaia for all the help. hope this helps for anyone out there.
