Overview

libWeave is the library with device side implementation of Weave protocol.

Sources

Sources are located in git repository at https://weave.googlesource.com/weave/libweave/

Install Repo

Make sure you have a bin/ directory in your home directory and that it is included in your path:

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

Download the Repo tool and ensure that it is executable:

curl https://storage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo
chmod a+x ~/bin/repo

Checkout code

repo init -u https://weave.googlesource.com/weave/manifest
repo sync

Making changes

The Android Developing site has a lot of good tips for working with git and repo in general. The tips below are meant as a quick cheat sheet rather than diving deep into relevant topics.

Configure git

Make sure to have correct user in local or global config e.g.:

git config --local user.name "User Name"
git config --local user.email user.name@example.com

Start local branch

repo start <branch name> .

Edit code and commit locally e.g.

git commit -a -v

Upload CL

repo upload .

Request code review

Go to the url from the output of repo upload and add reviewers.
