# depot_tools
|
|
|
|
Tools for working with Chromium development. It requires python 2.7.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Tools
|
|
|
|
The most important tools are:
|
|
|
|
- `fetch`: A `gclient` wrapper to checkout a project. Use `fetch --help` for
|
|
more details.
|
|
- `gclient`: A meta-checkout tool. Think
|
|
[repo](https://source.android.com/source/using-repo.html) or [git
|
|
submodules](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-submodule), except that it support
|
|
OS-specific rules, e.g. do not checkout Windows only dependencies when
|
|
checking out for Android. Use `gclient help` for more details and
|
|
[README.gclient.md](README.gclient.md).
|
|
- `git cl`: A code review tool to interact with Rietveld or Gerrit. Use `git cl
|
|
help` for more details and [README.git-cl.md](README.git-cl.md).
|
|
- `roll-dep`: A gclient dependency management tool to submit a _dep roll_,
|
|
updating a dependency to a newer revision.
|
|
|
|
There are a lot of git utilities included.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Updating
|
|
|
|
`depot_tools` updates itself automatically when running `gclient` tool. To
|
|
disable auto update, set the environment variable `DEPOT_TOOLS_UPDATE=0`.
|
|
|
|
To update package manually, run `update_depot_tools.bat` on Windows,
|
|
or `./update_depot_tools` on Linux or Mac.
|
|
|
|
On Windows only, running `gclient` will install `git` and `python`.
