Goodies

• Private repos can be tested too 😃

  $ dryrun [email protected]:cesarferreira/android-helloworld.git 

• No need to cleanup after you test the library.
• No need to wait for Android Studio to load.

Notes

Be aware that ANDROID_HOME needs to be set with the adb path:

• MAC -> ANDROID_HOME=/usr/local/opt/android-sdk
• Linux -> ANDROID_HOME=/usr/local/opt/android-sdk
• Windows -> ANDROID_HOME="...sdk" In windows this ANDROID_HOME is not automatically created, see more in here

Additionally, on windows in order to use git commands, the following path should be on the environment variable

• ...\Git\cmd
