This reverts commit 55f06f3e06.
Reason for revert: https://b.corp.google.com/issues/458283880#comment6. Once and a while we discover a tool which uses the vendored depot tools. In this case, we weren't passing the user's depot tools path for debugging. When that happens, the workspace will break, with no visible files in the change. Instead, we'll reintroduce this, and add have the cipd root live in the out directory. That will prevent the issue from the second bullet point.
Original change's description:
> cipd: ignore .cipd_client_root
>
> It was introduced to override the cipd bin path so that the downloaded
> files wouldn't be listed in the CiderG workspace file tree when
> the bundled depot_tools is used.
>
> However,
> - chromium no longer uses the bundled depot_tools
> - the cipd_client_root, pointing to a folder in /tmp, causes issues
> when a temp cleanup cron removes files based on the last access ts.
>
> We no longer need .cipd_client_root.

depot_tools
Tools for Chromium development. Requires Python 3.8+.
gsutil: Python 3.9–3.13 required.
Tools
The most important tools are:
fetch: Agclientwrapper to checkout a project. Usefetch --helpfor more details.gclient: A meta-checkout tool. 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.
Also, includes shell script/batch file for tools required to build chromium, e.g.
gn: a meta-build system that generates build files for Ninjaautoninja: a wrapper forsisoandninja.siso: a build tool that aims to significantly speed up Chromium's build.ninja: a small build system with a focus on speed. deprecated by Siso.
These shell script/batch file runs python script with python-bin/python3
that find binaries in chromium checkout, and run with proper setup/check.
To use these wrappers, you need to initialize/bootstrap depot_tools (using
gclient, update_depot_tools or ensure_bootstrap).
Installing
See set-up documentation.
depot_tools is also available in
-
chromium's third_party/depot_tools: propagated by autoroller.
-
on builder: infra_internal/recipe_bundles/chrome-internal.googlesource.com/chrome/tools/build bundles depot_tools. propagated by build_internal recipe roller
These depot_tools would not be initialized/bootstrapped (i.e. no
python-bin/python3 binary available), so the build tool wrapper won't work,
unless it is explicitly initialized by ensure_bootstrap.
Or, directly call the python script instead of using the shell script/batch
file.
Updating
depot_tools updates itself automatically when running gclient tool. To
disable auto update, set the environment variable DEPOT_TOOLS_UPDATE=0 or
run ./update_depot_tools_toggle.py --disable.
To update package manually, run update_depot_tools.bat on Windows,
or ./update_depot_tools on Linux or Mac.
Running gclient will install python3 binary.

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.
