After you contacted Gabriel on Telegram, and have the approval, follow the below steps.

1. Fork this repo to your own GitHub
2. Copy file createjson.sh to crDroid source folder and make it executable

chmod +x createjson.sh

3. Open the file in a text editor (vim, nano, any GUI editor) and make changes from where it states #modify values below, save the file then run the generation script with below command

./createjson.sh

4. A file named .json gets created in main crDroid source folder. Copy it to where this repo was cloned.
5. Create a file named changelog_.txt based on changelog structure and add your changelog in it.
6. Submit a pull request to this repo (this way we validate that you understood the requirements and if all is good you'll be granted direct push access to this repo)

3.2 Update build

git clone https://github.com/crdroidandroid/android_vendor_crDroidOTA -b 10.0

2. Change to the directory where you cloned this repo (android_vendor_crDroidOTA) and fetch updates from repo.

cd android_vendor_crDroidOTA
git fetch --all
git pull

3. Run again ./createjson.sh from crDroid source folder and copy .json file to this repo folder.
4. Make changes to changelog_.txt and save it.
5. Now with the files updated, commit your update to this repo.

git add .
git commit #(this opens up your prefered text editor, so write a nice description like "<device codename>: update build")
git push #you may be prompted for your github username and password
