17The Android Gardener has two primary jobs:
18
191. Monitor and approve the semi-autonomous
20   [git merges](https://googleplex-android-review.git.corp.google.com/#/q/owner:31977622648%2540project.gserviceaccount.com+status:open)
21   from Skia's repository into the Android source tree. See autoroller
22   documentation <a href="#autoroller_doc">here</a> for details on how to
23   interact with it.
24
252. Stay on top of incoming Android-related bugs in both the
26   [Skia](https://bugs.chromium.org/p/skia/issues/list?can=2&q=OpSys%3DAndroid&sort=-id&colspec=ID+Type+Status+Priority+Owner+Summary&cells=tiles)
27   and
28   [Android](https://buganizer.corp.google.com/issues?q=assignee:skia-android-triage%20status:open)
29   bug trackers. For Skia bugs, this means triaging and assigning all Android
30   bugs that are currently unassigned. For Android, this means following the
31   [Android guidelines](http://go/android-buganizer) to verifying that all Skia
32   bugs are TL-triaged (if not reach out to djsollen@).
33
34The Android Gardener's job is NOT to address issues in Perf and Gold. You'll get
35your chance when you are the general Skia Gardener.

41The Android autoroller into the master branch runs on
42[https://skia-autoroll.corp.goog/r/android-master-autoroll](https://skia-autoroll.corp.goog/r/android-master-autoroll) and
43is accessible only to Googlers.<br/> The autoroller's status is displayed on
44Skia's [status page](https://status.skia.org/).
45
46You can send the autoroller into dry run mode via the UI. The uploaded change
47will not autosubmit when it is in dry run mode.
48
49You can also stop the autoroller via the UI. This is useful in cases where a
50failure needs to be investigated and you do not want to waste TH resources by
51running unnecessary tests.
52
53If the autoroller displays an error in the UI then look for more detail in it's
54[cloud logs](https://pantheon.corp.google.com/logs/viewer?project=google.com:skia-buildbots&resource=logging_log%2Fname%2Fandroid-master-autoroll&logName=projects%2Fgoogle.com:skia-buildbots%2Flogs%2Fautoroll).
55
56If you need any more information about the autoroller please look at
57[skia:5538](https://bugs.chromium.org/p/skia/issues/detail?id=5538) or ask
58rmistry@ / skiabot@.
59
60We also have autorollers into release branches (also restricted only to
61Googlers):
62
63- [https://android-o-roll.skia.org](https://android-o-roll.skia.org)
64  ([cloud logs](https://pantheon.corp.google.com/logs/viewer?project=google.com:skia-buildbots&resource=logging_log%2Fname%2Fandroid-o-autoroll&logName=projects%2Fgoogle.com:skia-buildbots%2Flogs%2Fautoroll)).
65
66Changes created by these rollers need to be manually approved.<br/> The changes
67created by the release rollers:
68
69- Include all authors of merged changes so that they can watch the roll.
70- Extracts all buganizer bugs of the form 'BUG=b/123' or 'Bug: b/456' and
71  creates a single line in the merge change 'Bug: 123, 456'.
72- Collects all 'Test: ' lines and carries them over to the merge change.

87
88If you need to swap shifts with someone (because you are out sick or on
89vacation), please get approval from the person you want to swap with and
90directly make the swap via the
91[rotations page](https://rotations.corp.google.com/rotation/5296436538245120).
