Using $base_dir/cipd as a path for the cipd command only works when $base_dir is an absolute path, not when it is a relative path, as the current directory is already $base_dir. Therefore, "./cipd" must be used to run a command located in $base_dir.

The most important tools are:

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 or
run ./update_depot_tools_toggle.py --disable.

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.
