# GN
GN is a meta-build system that generates build files for
[Ninja](https://ninja-build.org).
## Getting started
git clone https://gn.googlesource.com/gn
cd gn
python build/gen.py
ninja -C out
On Windows, it is expected that `cl.exe`, `link.exe`, and `lib.exe` can be found
in `PATH`, so you'll want to run from a Visual Studio command prompt, or
similar.
On Linux and Mac, the default compiler is `clang++`, a recent version is
expected to be found in `PATH`. This can be overridden by setting `CC`, `CXX`,
and `AR`.
## Sending patches
GN uses [Gerrit](https://www.gerritcodereview.com/) for code review. The short
version of how to patch is:
Register at https://gn-review.googlesource.com.
... edit code ...
ninja -C out && out/gn_unittests
Then, to upload a change for review:
git commit
git cl upload --gerrit
When revising a change, use:
git commit --amend
git cl upload --gerrit
which will add the new changes to the existing code review, rather than creating
a new one.
We ask that all contributors
[sign Google's Contributor License Agreement](https://cla.developers.google.com/)
(either individual or corporate as appropriate, select 'any other Google
project').
## Community
You may ask questions and follow along w/ GN's development on Chromium's
[gn-dev@](https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/forum/#!forum/gn-dev)
Google Group.
