Chromium and Blink Developer Command Reference

The collection of sources provides a comprehensive guide to developing within the Chromium project, focusing heavily on command-line tools and workflows essential for engineers, particularly those working on the Blink rendering engine. The documentation is systematically organized into four key phases: Syncing and Setup, which covers initial code checkout and dependency management using fetch and gclient; Build and Compilation, detailing how to configure builds (e.g., debug, release, ASan) and compile targets like chrome or blink_tests using gn and autoninja; Running and Testing, which outlines how to execute web tests and unit tests, including options for rebaselining results and enabling experimental features; and Source Control with Git, which covers standard version control practices, including rebasing, squashing, and using the specialized git cl tool for managing code reviews and triggering trybots on Gerrit.
