To get started with Android/CyanogenMod for golfu, you'll need to get familiar with Git and Repo.
To initialize your local repository using the CyanogenMod trees, use a command like this:
repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b cm-10.2
curl --create-dirs -L -o ~/cm-10.2/.repo/local_manifests/golfu.xml -O -L https://raw.github.com/CyanCom/roomservice/cm-10.2/golfu.xml
Then to sync up:
repo sync
WORK IN PROGRESS. WILL EAT YOUR CAT.
