 | == NAME | 
 | gerrit version - Show the version of the currently executing Gerrit server | 
 |  | 
 | == SYNOPSIS | 
 | [verse] | 
 | -- | 
 | _ssh_ -p <port> <host> _gerrit version_ | 
 | -- | 
 |  | 
 | == DESCRIPTION | 
 | Displays a one-line response with the string `gerrit version` followed | 
 | by the currently executing version of Gerrit. | 
 |  | 
 | The `git describe` command is used to generate the version string based | 
 | on the Git commit used to build Gerrit. For official releases of Gerrit, | 
 | the version string will be equal to the Git tag set in the Gerrit source | 
 | code, which in turn is equal to the name of the release (for example | 
 | 2.4.2). When building Gerrit from another commit (one that doesn't have | 
 | an official-looking tag pointing to it), the version string has the form | 
 | `<tagname>-<n>-g<sha1>`, where `<n>` is an integer indicating the number | 
 | of commits ahead of the `<tagname>` tag the commit is, and `<sha1>` is | 
 | the seven-character abbreviated SHA-1 of the commit. See the `git | 
 | describe` documentation for details on how `<tagname>` is chosen and how | 
 | `<n>` is computed. | 
 |  | 
 | == ACCESS | 
 | Any user who has SSH access to Gerrit. | 
 |  | 
 | == SCRIPTING | 
 | This command is intended to be used in scripts. | 
 |  |
