How to get camera.git or gallery.git from https://android.googlesource.com?

I just spent the last 4 - 5 hours trying to get the source codes for the android apps (Camera or Gallery). I found posts which states that they are found here: https://android.googlesource.com.

Being new to git, I followed the instructions from some websites and used:

git clone https://android.googlesource.com/platform/packages/apps/Camera
git clone https://android.googlesource.com/platform/packages/apps/Gallery

But I kept getting "fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly"

I don't understand. I found a question here in Stackoverflow to get Browser using git clone, which worked for me. But, I just can't get Camera and Gallery.开发者_JAVA技巧

Any ideas?

You can download them without Git. Try these:

https://android.googlesource.com/platform/packages/apps/Camera/+archive/master.tar.gz
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/packages/apps/Gallery/+archive/master.tar.gz

Basically, you can use for any google git with following pattern.

https://android.googlesource.com/<google-git-unique-id>/+archive/master.tar.gz

I've just tested your git clone command just now, and it works fine, which suggests to me that you have a connectivity problem, rather than a git problem. But you said you were able to clone Browser, which confuses me. Have you tried cloning them in a separate directory, or from a separate machine, just to rule those out? And is your connectivity reliable, or is it potentially going up and down (I doubt this is the problem, but you never know).

I just copied your commands and it worked fine for me, so it must be something wrong with your install of git, or some weird network connection issue.

You might want to try completely removing git and all of its configuration files (or just reset the configuration files), and see if that works. You might also want to check if you can access Camera properly from your web browser to see if you can actually connect to the server.
