Submitting Patches

------------------

Patches are always welcome!  Please submit your patches via CyanogenMod Gerrit!

You can do this by using these commands:



    (From root android directory)

    . build/envsetup.sh

    (Go to repo you are patching, make your changes and commit)

    cmgerrit <for(new)/changes(patch set)> <branch/change-id> 



    repo start cm-12.1 .

    (Make your changes and commit)

    repo upload .

Note: "." meaning current directory

For more help on using this tool, use this command: repo help upload



Make your changes and commit with a detailed message, starting with what you are working with (i.e. vision: Update Kernel)

Commit your patches in a single commit. Squash multiple commit using this command: git rebase -i HEAD~<# of commits>



To view the status of your and others' patches, visit [CyanogenMod Code Review](http://review.cyanogenmod.org/)





Getting Started

---------------



To get started with Android/CyanogenMod, you'll need to get

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 CyanogenMod trees, use a command like this:



    repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b cm-12.1



Then to sync up:



    repo sync



Please see the [CyanogenMod Wiki](http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/) for building instructions, by device.



For more information on this Github Organization and how it is structured, 

please [read the wiki article](http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Github_Organization)



Buildbot

--------



All supported devices are built nightly and periodically as changes are committed to ensure the source trees remain buildable.



You can view the current build statuses in the [Jenkins](http://jenkins.cyanogenmod.org) tool.
