| gerrit create-group |
| =================== |
| |
| NAME |
| ---- |
| gerrit create-group - Create a new account group. |
| |
| SYNOPSIS |
| -------- |
| [verse] |
| 'ssh' -p <port> <host> 'gerrit create-group' \ |
| [\--owner <GROUP>] \ |
| [\--description <DESC>] \ |
| [\--member <USERNAME>] \ |
| [\--group <GROUP>] \ |
| <GROUP> |
| |
| DESCRIPTION |
| ----------- |
| Creates a new account group. The group creating user (the user that |
| fired the create-group command) is not automatically added to |
| the created group. In case the creating user wants to be a member of |
| the group he/she must list itself in the --member option. This is |
| slightly different from Gerrit's Web UI where the creating user automatically |
| becomes a member of the newly created group. |
| |
| ACCESS |
| ------ |
| Caller must be a member of the privileged 'Administrators' group. |
| |
| SCRIPTING |
| --------- |
| This command is intended to be used in scripts. |
| |
| OPTIONS |
| ------- |
| <GROUP>:: |
| Required; name of the new group. |
| |
| \--owner, -o:: |
| Name of the owning group. If not specified the group will be self-owning. |
| |
| \--description, -d:: |
| Description of group. |
| + |
| Description values containing spaces should be quoted in single quotes |
| (\'). This most likely requires double quoting the value, for example |
| `\--description "\'A description string\'"`. |
| |
| \--member:: |
| User name to become initial member of the group. Multiple \--member |
| options may be specified to add more initial members. |
| |
| \--group:: |
| Group name to include in the group. Multiple \--group options may |
| be specified to include more initial groups. |
| |
| EXAMPLES |
| -------- |
| Create a new account group called `gerritdev` with two initial members |
| `developer1` and `developer2`. The group should be owned by itself: |
| |
| ==== |
| $ ssh -p 29418 user@review.example.com gerrit create-group --member developer1 --member developer2 gerritdev |
| ==== |
| |
| Create a new account group called `Foo` owned by the `Foo-admin` group. |
| Put `developer1` as the initial member and include group description: |
| |
| ==== |
| $ ssh -p 29418 user@review.example.com gerrit create-group --owner Foo-admin --member developer1 --description "'Foo description'" Foo |
| ==== |
| |
| Note that it is necessary to quote the description twice. The local |
| shell needs double quotes around the value to ensure the single quotes |
| are passed through SSH as-is to the remote Gerrit server, which uses |
| the single quotes to delimit the value. |
