Repo is a repository management tool that Android built on top of Git. Repo unifies the many Git repositories when necessary, does the uploads to our revision control system, and automates parts of the Android development workflow. Repo is not meant to replace Git, only to make it easier to work with Git in the context of Android. The repo command is an executable Python script that you can put anywhere in your path.

How to checkout CAF branch on Cyanogenmod?
I noticed that Cyanogenmod has branches on some of its git repos named like this: cm-13.0-caf-8916. How do I check those out on repo? I tried repo init -u https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b cm-13.0-caf-8916 but it didn't find it.
