CR

cr is a tool to help you work on the Chromium browser sources

What can it do for me?

• Download fresh Chromium sources (cr clone)
• Build Chromium browser (cr build)
• Update Chromium sources (cr update)
• Install Chromium depot_tools and dependencies (cr clone makes sure you have everything)
• Download separate WebKit sources (cr webkit replaces your third_party/WebKit with a fresh WebKit clone)

What not?

• Run Chromium (soon)
• Help upload Chromium patches (soon)
• Help upload WebKit patches (soon)
