+Syncing the Source |
+----------------------------- |
+We use the gclient utility, provided by depot_tools, to sync both our git repository |
+as well as any third-party dependencies. If you are an expert user you can setup |
+a .gclient file on your own, but for everyone else it is recommended that you use |
+`bin/sync-and-gyp` to create a .gclient file for the first time. |

+After the initial setup you only need to run `gclient sync` to get the latest |
+sources. |

+Further, we use the open-source gyp tool to generate build files from our |
+multi-platform "gyp" files. While most other platforms encourage you to |
+regenerate these files using `./gyp_skia` or `bin/sync-and-gyp` it is |
+recommended that you do NOT do this for Android. Instead you can rely |
+on it being run automatically by android_ninja. |
