Fuchsia Source

Fuchsia uses the jiri tool to manage git repositories https://fuchsia.googlesource.com/jiri. This tool manages a set of repositories specified by a manifest.

Prerequisites

On Ubuntu:

  • sudo apt-get install golang git build-essential curl unzip

On Mac:

  • Install Xcode Command Line Tools
  • brew install golang

Creating a new checkout

The bootstrap procedure requires that you have Go 1.6 or newer and Git installed and on your PATH. To create a new Fuchsia checkout in a directory called fuchsia run the following commands. The fuchsia directory should not exist before running these steps.

curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fuchsia-mirror/jiri/master/scripts/bootstrap_jiri | bash -s fuchsia
cd fuchsia
export PATH=`pwd`/.jiri_root/bin:$PATH
jiri import fuchsia https://fuchsia.googlesource.com/manifest
jiri update

Working without altering your PATH

If you don't like having to mangle your environment variables, and you want jiri to "just work" depending on your current working directory, just copy jiri into your PATH. However, you must have write access (without sudo) to the directory into which you copy jiri. If you don't, then jiri will not be able to keep itself up-to-date.

cp .jiri_root/bin/jiri ~/bin
