NAME
----
gerrit review - Verify, approve and/or submit one or more patch sets

SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'ssh' -p <port> <host> 'gerrit review'
  [--project <PROJECT> | -p <PROJECT>]
  [--message <MESSAGE> | -m <MESSAGE>]
  [--submit | -s]
  [--abandon | --restore]
  [--publish]
  [--delete]
  [--verified <N>] [--code-review <N>]
  [--label Label-Name=<N>]
  {COMMIT | CHANGEID,PATCHSET}...

DESCRIPTION
-----------
Updates the current user's approval status of the specified patch
sets and/or submits them for merging, sending out email
notifications and updating the database.

Patch sets should be specified as complete or abbreviated commit
SHA-1s.  If the same commit is available in multiple projects the
--project option may be used to limit where Gerrit searches for
the change to only the contents of the specified project.

For current backward compatibility with user tools patch sets may
also be specified in the legacy 'CHANGEID,PATCHSET' format, such as
'8242,2'.  Support for this legacy format is planned to be removed
in a future edition of Gerrit Code Review.  Use of commit SHA-1s
is strongly encouraged.

-p::

	within.  This option must be supplied before the commit

	sent to reviewers when the approval states are updated.

EXAMPLES

Approve the change with commit c0ff33 as "Verified +1"
=====
	$ ssh -p 29418 review.example.com gerrit review --verified +1 c0ff33

Append the message "Build Successful". Notice two levels of quoting is
required, one for the local shell, and another for the argument parser
inside the Gerrit server:

	$ ssh -p 29418 review.example.com gerrit review -m '"Build Successful"' c0ff33
=====

Mark the unmerged commits both "Verified +1" and "Code-Review +2" and
submit them for merging:
====
  $ ssh -p 29418 review.example.com gerrit review \
    --verified +1 \
    --code-review +2 \
    --submit \
    --project this/project \
    $(git rev-list origin/master..HEAD)
====

Abandon an active change:
