SlothFS is a FUSE filesystem that provides light-weight, lazily downloaded, read-only checkouts of manifest-based Git projects. It is intended for use with Android.

How to use

To start the file system:

go install github.com/google/slothfs/cmd/slothfs-multifs
mkdir /tmp/mnt
slothfs-multifs -gitiles https://android.googlesource.com/ /tmp/mnt &

To create a workspace “ws” corresponding to the latest manifest version

go install github.com/google/slothfs/cmd/slothfs-expand-manifest
slothfs-expand-manifest --gitiles https://android.googlesource.com/ \
   > /tmp/m.xml &&
ln -s /tmp/m.xml /tmp/mnt/config/ws

More details can be found in the manual.
