The Android Open Source Project has branches and/or tags for the releases of many different components. There are tags and/or branches for the OS, device kernels, mainline components (APEX), the NDK, Android Studio, the platform-tools distribution - packages, the CTS, androidx components, etc.

+ packages, the CTS, androidx components, etc. You should obtain the sources via + manifests using the repo tool, either using the manifest for a tag / branch in + platform/manifest.git or a manifest provided elsewhere. Different projects use + different subsets of the repositories. Many of the repositories only exist as an + archive for older releases and aren't referenced in current manifests.
