====== Android Freeline ======
Freeline is an open source solution to speed up your compiling, like 2 seconds compared to 2 minutes in the old way.
It's super fast because of the increment build only for the changed class.

  - When you files changed a lot, you also need to do the clean build
  - When you switch between different branches, you may need to do the clean build
  - You can add alias to your .bashrc or .zshrc if you like
      * alias freeline='python freeline.py'
  - If you don't want to commit the changes, you can use the patch command to do it
       * Create the patch: git diff > freeline.patch  
       * Apply the patch: patch -p1 < freeline.patch 
       * Revert the patch: patch -p1 -R <freeline.patch
