-familiar with [Repo](https://source.android.com/source/using-repo.html) and [Version Control with Git](https://source.android.com/source/version-control.html).

-To initialize your local repository using the LineageOS trees, use a command like this:
-```
-repo init -u git://github.com/LineageOS/android.git -b lineage-18.0
-```
-Then to sync up:
-```
-repo sync
-```
 Please see the [LineageOS Wiki](https://wiki.lineageos.org/) for building instructions, by device.
