访问存档文件中的 Chromium OS 源代码

Question

I use Chrome OS for a lot of my programming (oddly enough, but I do), and I wanted to access the Chromium OS source code because I like Chrome OS, and I want to see the insides of how it works. Only problem is, I can't access the CLI to do all the checkout stuff, even though I can enable a Debian VM (I don't want to, because I use it for everything, so I don't want to mess it up), but I can extract a .zip or .tar.* file through a Chrome extension. So basically, I want to know how (and if) to access an archive file of the Chromium OS source.

Answer 1

Sorry, but there is no single archive provided for all of the Chromium OS source. A single checkout is made up of 100's of independent git repositories listed here: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/manifest/+/HEAD/full.xml

If you want a checkout, you'll need to follow the documentation: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/docs/+/HEAD/developer_guide.md
