<p>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.</p>
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.</p>
<p>Some components don't have the infrastructure set up to generate and push their own
branches and tags to AOSP. In other cases, it's simply not obvious to an outsider
