Getting the Code
=============

Checkout [depot tools](http://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/install-depot-tools), and run

This will checkout V8 into the directory `v8` and fetch all of its dependencies.
To stay up to date, run

For fetching all branches, add the following into your remote
configuration in `.git/config`:
