Download git projects from googlesource

Let's say you want to download this open source project by Roman Nurik. Here is how you can do it.


  • Look at the URL: 
  • https://android.googlesource.com/platform/developers/samples/android/+/master/ui/actionbar/DoneBar 
    
  • Only keep the part before the + sign: 
  • https://android.googlesource.com/platform/developers/samples/android/
    
  • Open this new URL, and note that at the top of the page there is a hint that says: 
  • git clone https://android.googlesource.com/platform/developers/samples/android
    
  • That is the git command you need to use to download the project (parent project, to be exact). Use it in the terminal on Mac OS to get a local copy of that folder.
