# grok-bundle(1)

Create clone.bundle files for use with "repo"

## NAME

GROK-BUNDLE - Create clone.bundle files for use with "repo"

## SYNOPSIS

grok-bundle \[options\] -c grokmirror.conf -o path

## DESCRIPTION

Android's "repo" tool will check for the presence of clone.bundle files before performing a fresh git clone. This is done in order to offload most of the git traffic to a CDN and reduce the load on git servers themselves.

This command will generate clone.bundle files in a hierarchy expected by repo. You can then sync the output directory to a CDN service.
