The repo tool is used to pull from the plethora of git repositories making the android project.

Make sure you have "$HOME/.local/bin" in your PATH (and create that directory if not there already).

mkdir -p ~/.local/bin
curl http://android.git.kernel.org/repo > ~/.local/bin/repo
chmod +x ~/.local/bin/repo

Create a directory to hold your files:

mkdir android
cd android

Update the "repo" tool and initialize environment (it will ask you for your name and email address):

repo init -u git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/manifest.git

Now sync (download) all repositories with:

repo sync
