The problem of the development of the angular velocity distribution during the final phase of gravitational contraction of a star immediately prior to the onset of degeneracy and during the subsequent cooling phase is surveyed. Processes that may affect this distribution are discussed at some length, and estimates of the timescales for redistribution of the angular momentum are given for each process. Possible effects on the evolution and observable consequences are briefly considered.
