| gerrit version |
| ============== |
| |
| 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. |
| |
