| = Gerrit Product Overview |
| |
| Gerrit is a web-based code review tool built on top of the |
| https://git-scm.com/[Git version control system]. This introduction provides |
| an overview of Gerrit and describes how Gerrit integrates into a typical |
| development workflow. It also provides a brief tutorial that shows how to manage |
| a change using Gerrit. |
| |
| == What is Gerrit? |
| |
| Gerrit makes code review easy by providing a lightweight framework for reviewing |
| commits before they are accepted by the codebase. Gerrit works equally well for |
| projects where approving changes is restricted to selected users, as is typical |
| for Open Source software development, as well as projects where all contributors |
| are trusted. |
