.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 by checking out the \m[blue]\fBgit repository\fR\m[]\&\s-2\u[1]\d\s+2\&.
