.SH "NAME"
depot_tools \- A collection of tools for dealing with Chromium development\&.
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
The Chromium depot_tools suite contains many tools to assist/augment the Chromium development environment\&. The tools may be downloaded from \m[blue]\fBhere\fR\m[]\&\s-2\u[1]\d\s+2\&.
.sp
There are two primary categories of tools\&. Some of these tools are \fIessential\fR to the development flow, in the sense that you cannot successfully develop Chromium without them\&.
.sp
Other tools are merely \fIhelper\fR tools\&. Not required, but they can substantially ease the develpment workflow\&.
.sp
A listing of both categories of tools follows\&.
