## Breakpoint Debugging
> Note that this will increase the size of the build significantly, taking up around 50G of disk space
Write the following file to `electron/.git/info/exclude/debug.gn`
```gn
import("//electron/build/args/testing.gn")
is_debug = true
symbol_level = 2
forbid_non_component_debug_builds = false
```
Then execute:
```sh
$ gn gen out/Debug --args="import(\"//electron/.git/info/exclude/debug.gn\") $GN_EXTRA_ARGS"
$ ninja -C out/Debug electron
```
Now you can use `LLDB` for breakpoint debugging.
