When I give these commands then the 2.3.7 branch gets initialized in current directory

  • 0

When I give these commands then the 2.3.7 branch gets initialized in current directory and source gets downloaded.

repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b android-2.3.7_r1

repo sync

Thereafter if I give following command what exactly happens

repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b android-4.0.1_r1

or

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

My Questions

  1. Will my earlier branch be deleted which I have downloaded with great difficulty? Cant I have multiple branches existing simultaneously?

  2. If I can have more than one branch then how to access them? I dont see any directory called 2.3.7 or 4.0.1.

  3. The repo directory structure is very confusing. Can anybody guide?

    You should start a new repo branch within the same source code branch

     repo start BRANCH_NAME [PROJECT_LIST]

    Also refer to the following book on how to switch and make use to features in git

    Look at section on branching and merging. Create branch using repo and then git commands to move around
