This package contains tools for working with Chromium development:

chrome-update-create-task.bat Creates a scheduled task to do an automatic local chromium build every day.

cpplint.py A copy of our linting tool which enforces Google style. Fetched from http://google-styleguide.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/cpplint/cpplint.py

gcl A tool for uploading and managing code reviews on the Chromium project, using the Rietveld code review tool. More info at: http://code.google.com/p/rietveld/

gclient A script for managing a workspace with modular dependencies that are each checked out independently from different repositories. More info at: http://code.google.com/p/gclient/

It 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.

Note: on Windows if svn, git and python are not accessible, they will be downloaded too.
