 == Client

 Client commands and hooks can be downloaded via scp, wget or curl
 from Gerrit's daemon, and then executed on the client system.

 To download a client command or hook, use scp or an http client:

 ----
 $ scp -p -P 29418 john.doe@review.example.com:bin/gerrit-cherry-pick ~/bin/
 $ scp -p -P 29418 john.doe@review.example.com:hooks/commit-msg .git/hooks/

 $ curl -Lo ~/bin/gerrit-cherry-pick http://review.example.com/tools/bin/gerrit-cherry-pick
 $ curl -Lo .git/hooks/commit-msg http://review.example.com/tools/hooks/commit-msg

 [[client_commands]]
 === Commands

 link:cmd-cherry-pick.html[gerrit-cherry-pick]::
 	Download and cherry-pick one or more changes (commits).

 [[client_hooks]]
 === Hooks

 Client hooks can be installed into a local Git repository, improving
 the developer experience when working with a Gerrit Code Review
 server.

 link:cmd-hook-commit-msg.html[commit-msg]::
 	Automatically generate `Change-Id:` tags in commit messages.


 == Server

 Aside from the standard Git server side actions, Gerrit supports
 several other commands over its internal SSH daemon.  As Gerrit does
 not provide an interactive shell, the commands must be triggered
 from an ssh client, for example:

 ----
   $ ssh -p 29418 review.example.com gerrit ls-projects
 ----

 For more details on how to determine the correct SSH port number,
 see link:user-upload.html#test_ssh[Testing Your SSH Connection].

 [[trace]]
 === Trace

 For executing SSH commands tracing can be enabled by setting the
 `--trace` and `--trace-id <trace-id>` options. It is recommended to use
 the ID of the issue that is being investigated as trace ID.

 ----
   $ ssh -p 29418 review.example.com gerrit create-project --trace --trace-id issue/123 foo/bar
 ----

 It is also possible to omit the trace ID and get a unique trace ID
 generated.

 ----
   $ ssh -p 29418 review.example.com gerrit create-project --trace foo/bar
 ----

 Enabling tracing results in additional logs with debug information that
 are written to the `error_log`. All logs that correspond to the traced
 request are associated with the trace ID. The trace ID is printed to
 the stderr command output:

 ----
   TRACE_ID: 1534174322774-7edf2a7b
 ----

 Given the trace ID an administrator can find the corresponding logs and
 investigate issues more easily.
