| Gerrit Code Review - Commit Validation |
| ====================================== |
| |
| Gerrit supports link:dev-plugins.html[plugin-based] validation of |
| commits. |
| |
| [[new-commit-validation]] |
| New commit validation |
| --------------------- |
| |
| |
| Plugins implementing the `CommitValidationListener` interface can |
| perform additional validation checks against new commits. |
| |
| If the commit fails the validation, the plugin can either provide a |
| message that will be sent back to the git client, or throw an exception |
| which will cause the commit to be rejected. |
| |
| Validation applies to both commits uploaded via `git push`, and new |
| commits generated via Gerrit's Web UI features such as the rebase, revert |
| and cherry-pick buttons. |
| |
| Out of the box, Gerrit includes a plugin that checks the length of the |
| subject and body lines of commit messages on uploaded commits. |
| |
| [[pre-merge-validation]] |
| Pre-merge validation |
| -------------------- |
| |
| |
| Plugins implementing the `MergeValidationListener` interface can |
| perform additional validation checks against commits before they |
| are merged to the git repository. |
| |
| If the commit fails the validation, the plugin can throw an exception |
| which will cause the merge to fail. |
