How does the skill handle build errors in Phase Two?

It uses 'e build -k 999' to gather error context, then guides you through fixing either Electron's own source code or creating fixup commits for Chromium patches.

Can I skip difficult patches during the upgrade?

No. The skill emphasizes that you should never delete or skip patches unless 100% certain they are obsolete, as this can break core Electron functionality.

Why is 'e patches all' important in the workflow?

This command exports commits from target repositories back into patch files, ensuring that your local fixes are preserved in the Electron repository's patch system.

What is the primary goal of Phase One in this skill?

Phase One focuses on running 'e sync --3' repeatedly and resolving all patch conflicts until the dependencies are successfully synchronized and changes are committed.

Does this skill help with commit formatting?

Yes, it provides specific instructions for following Phase One and Phase Two commit guidelines, ensuring the project history remains clean and traceable.

開発者ツール

Guides developers through the complex two-phase process of upgrading Chromium versions within the Electron repository.

This skill provides a structured framework for managing Chromium dependency upgrades in the Electron project. It assists developers during the 'roller/chromium/main' branch workflow, navigating Phase One (patch synchronization and three-way merge conflict resolution) and Phase Two (resolving build errors and API breaking changes). By enforcing specific commit guidelines and leveraging Electron's 'e' build tool, the skill ensures that patches are correctly maintained, authorship is preserved, and the final Electron binary aligns with the updated Chromium source.
