How to checkout and BUILD specific chromium tag/branch without download the FULL source code of all history?

by

This is probably the fastest way to fetch Chromium’s source code. Suppose 59.0.3071.115 is the version of Chromium, you wish to build. You run this command:

git fetch https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src.git +refs/tags/59.0.3071.115:chromium_59.0.3071.115

If you don’t want the history to be fetched (faster fetching of Chromium source code):

git fetch https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src.git +refs/tags/59.0.3071.115:chromium_59.0.3071.115 --depth 1

Now from your Chromium repo, use the following command to show a list of tags available

git tag

You have to checkout that tag by running

git checkout tags/59.0.3071.115

Then run these commands in the order listed below to pull all the third-party dependencies:

gclient sync
gclient sync --with_branch_heads
gclient runhooks

You can find the dev, beta, canary, latest and stable version info of Chromium from this page: https://www.chromium.org/developers/calendar

Now, you should be able to build Chromium. Let me know, if it works
