Goodies

• Private repos can be tested too 😃

  $ dryrun [email protected]:cesarferreira/android-helloworld.git

• No need to cleanup after you test the library.
• No need to wait for Android Studio to load.

Notes

Be aware that $ANDROID_SDK_ROOT environment variable needs to be set. See more in here

Additionally, on windows in order to use git commands, the following path should be on the environment variable

• ...\Git\cmd
