This is similar in spirit to the helper flags in git subcommands, e.g. try `git branch --git-completion-helper`. It provides a list of long flags that the subcommands support, without repeating it manually in the completion script. Note that this special flag is not returned in help, so there is no noise. To see the result, source the script, then `git cl upload --<TAB>`.

Think repo or git submodules, except that it support OS-specific rules, e.g. do not checkout Windows only dependencies when checking out for Android. Usegclient helpfor more details and README.gclient.md.git cl: A code review tool to interact with Rietveld or Gerrit. Usegit cl helpfor more details and 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.

cpplint.py
Until 2018, our cpplint.py was a copy of the upstream version at
https://github.com/google/styleguide/tree/gh-pages/cpplint. Unfortunately, that
repository is not maintained any more.
If you want to update cpplint.py in depot_tools, just upload a patch to do
so. We will figure out a long-term strategy via issue https://crbug.com/916550.
Note that the cpplint.py here is also used by the Tricium
analyzer,
so if the cpplint.py here changes, we should also update the copy used there.
