How to display available branches in Android source tree?

Question

Following directions on Android\'s main website to pull down sources, I\'m looking at this command to initialize repo for the cupcake branch:

repo init -u git://an

Answer 1

The manifests are already checked out as part of the repo init process. To get a list of available branches, (from your android repo checkout root), use this command:

git --git-dir .repo/manifests/.git/ branch -a
