#### A note on pulling/pushing
If you intend to `git pull` or `git push` from the official `electron`
@ -108,6 +111,13 @@ $ export GN_EXTRA_ARGS="${GN_EXTRA_ARGS} cc_wrapper=\"${PWD}/electron/external_b
$ gn gen out/Debug --args="import(\"//electron/build/args/debug.gn\") $GN_EXTRA_ARGS"
```
Or on Windows (without the optional argument):
```sh
$ cd src
$ set CHROMIUM_BUILDTOOLS_PATH=%cd%\buildtools
$ gn gen out/Debug --args="import(\"//electron/build/args/debug.gn\")"
```
This will generate a build directory `out/Debug` under `src/` with
debug build configuration. You can replace `Debug` with another name,
but it should be a subdirectory of `out`.
