How master-hax/pixel-backup-gang works
pixel backup gang is a set of Android shell utilities for mounting external storage into a first-generation Pixel’s internal storage, so Google Photos can access it. The documented workflow is to mount a USB drive (ext4 or FAT32) or an NFS share; the README also identifies reducing internal-flash wear and avoiding FAT32’s file-size limit as goals. The tree shows additional device and shell utilities, but their behavior and call relationships are not excerpted, so they are included without inferred connections.
