Android Development Shell Tools: Handy Shortcuts for ROM Developers

Available Tools & Documentation

There are too many features for us to list, but here’s a quick sneak peek:

  • Advanced Gerrit SSH Interface: an easy to use SSH interface for Gerrit, which makes code review a breeze from your terminal.
  • Repo diff toolrepochanges is a handy function to detect and show differences between all local repos and their remotes.
  • Advanced ADB push helperadbp <file_to_push> will make pushing files easier by automatically figuring out where a file or directory should be pushed to. For example, adbp system/lib/hw/lights.msm8960.so will push the file to its appropriate location directly, without you having to type its directory manually. Highly useful for development when a few files need to be quickly updated to test something out.
  • Git log and search helpers: several shortcuts are provided to make viewing and searching git commits (gitlogitlodgitloo) and history (gitlos) a breeze. Many other Git functions and helpers are also provided.
  • A lot more! There really are a lot of handy shortcuts and functions in the project, too many for us to list. Which you find useful is also likely dependent on your usage, but you’ll find many helpers for Git, ADB and general Android development.
