Gerrit / git-cl (Chromium Development Workflow)

The source provides a comprehensive guide to the Chromium development workflow, focusing on using Gerrit for code review and the command-line utility git cl (part of depot_tools). It details two primary methods for managing code changes (known as CLs or changelists): the recommended "branch-per-CL" approach and the alternative "single-branch stack" method, explaining how to handle dependent changes in a stack. Key aspects covered include generating and preserving Change-Ids for tracking patch sets, uploading changes for review, responding to feedback by amending commits and rebasing, and submitting changes via the Commit Queue (CQ). The document also summarizes essential git cl commands and best practices for interacting with the Gerrit UI to ensure a smooth code review and submission process within the large, collaborative project environment.
