How does it show first when normal AndroidOS boots straight to bootanimation ?","This is done by using the typical Linux method for booting with initrd.img, kernel, and system.img/ramdisk.img, where a grub menuentry is created that references the location of each img, and loads itlike normal linux would. The initrd.img and kernel load first, then after zygote loads, the init.sh file takes over and set's up the remaining hardware dynamically, and then initiallizes the graphics composer.","How does it recognize PC Bios on reboot ? as normally there is Bootloader in Android devices!","See above answers","What are the different Partitions that BlissOS Requires for running?

Satisfied, you push it up to GitHub.","'''Example 2:''' You bring up a bunch of commits, and squash them before pushing to GitHub.","'''Example 3:''' You intentionally want to pass off another developer's work as your own. You cherry-pick the commit, and then amend the commit to rewrite the author information.","Let's go over why this is wrong. Example 1 is an example of an unintentional kang. You didn't want to resolve the git merge issues, so decided to just copy the code and commit it as your own. This is bad because the author information does not get transferred over with your copy, which you have to specify manually.","Example 2 is more of an accident. If you squash multiple commits, all authorship information for the range of commits is lost. In addition, it becomes a real headache for other developers if something in the range of your commits is wrong. Because you cannot individually revert commits in a squash, squashing is very much discouraged and should ONLY be used when you have a lot of commits that you committed yourself and are small in nature.","Example 3 is an example of an intentional kang. We won't explain why because it should be fairly obvious."]},{"l":"How to maintain proper authorship","p":["The process is fairly simple yet important to understand.","If you are cherry-picking commits, the authorship information is transferred automatically.

You don't have to do anything in this case.","If you are committing someone else's code yourself, then you must manually specify who the author is. There are a lot of reasons why you would do this, from merge issues to incompatible code with the existing codebase. To manually specify an author, follow the [[#Manually specifying an author | Manually specifying an author section below]].","Finally, do NOT squash a range of commits that are not your own. This completely wipes authorship information from the range of commits and causes a massive headache for other developers."]},{"l":"Manually specifying an author","p":["You need to first determine the original author's name and email address.","GitHub no longer shows the author information when you mouse over the profile picture, which is quite unfortunate.

From there, you will add:","Where ‘your_companies_complex_password_schema1234’ is replaced with the password set in the source.

You cherry-pick the commit, and then amend the commit to rewrite the author information.","Let's go over why this is wrong. Example 1 is an example of an unintentional kang. You didn't want to resolve the git merge issues, so decided to just copy the code and commit it as your own. This is bad because the author information does not get transferred over with your copy, which you have to specify manually.","Example 2 is more of an accident. If you squash multiple commits, all authorship information for the range of commits is lost. In addition, it becomes a real headache for other developers if something in the range of your commits is wrong. Because you cannot individually revert commits in a squash, squashing is very much discouraged and should ONLY be used when you have a lot of commits that you committed yourself and are small in nature.","Example 3 is an example of an intentional kang.

There are a lot of reasons why you would do this, from merge issues to incompatible code with the existing codebase.
