Your first AOSP contribution
summary
Step‑by‑step checklist for contributing to Jetpack: use the repo tool to repo init and repo sync (checkouts ~7GB), run repo start before editing, run Gradle W Studio and either assemble/test or the full build on server (≈1 hour on a laptop), run create archives to test changes in your app, sign the CLA, run script hooks so a Change‑ID is injected, then repo upload and land via Gerrit (externals currently can’t view CI failure logs; only ~10% of contributors are external).
