| == 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. | |
| == OPTIONS | |
| --verbose:: | |
| -v:: | |
| Verbose output, include also the NoteDb version and the version of each index. | |
| --json:: | |
| Json output format. Assumes verbose output. | |
