No wrong use or side effect of this project shall involve the responsibility of its developers.

The scripts are shared as they are. Improvements are regularly done based on personal use

and developers reports, but no instantaneous changes shall be requested by anyone.

About the project

The project advanced_development_shell_tools started in 2015

to ease Android and Linux developments, ADB usage, Git commands and related projects.

Originally a private set of scripts, I made the project evolve towards

a publically shareable set of tools that can be easily used and even configured

by anyone interested in using advanced development tools and in winning time.

It provides many functions and shortcuts to ease Android development.

The sources written and shared here are either meant to be used as they are,

or to serve as a reference for commands and functions an Android developer needs.

Developers or beginners interested in shell commands and scripting

can look into my sources and find documented commands and syntaxes,

which can be used as a reference for shell scripting and help making their own.

How to update with upstream changes

To keep a local sync of 'advanced_development_shell_tools' updated with upstream changes,

simply run the `shtoolssync` command and the updates will be downloaded.

Local modifications will be lost through the update (read about `git stash pop` in that case)

and the newest commits / improvements will be added to your available tools.

About the documentation and structure

The linked documentation holds a reference point to all functions and macros

that this project provides, with details on their usage purpose,

and if present, the `<required>` or `[optional]` parameters available.

The documentation is completely dynamically built.

Scripts flagged "Standalone Import Ready" and starting with `source <(curl -Ls...`

are able to be directly sourced through the provided commands in any terminal

without the need of this project being installed locally or loaded in the shell.
