## Discuss code
Read old and new versions of files with syntax highlighting and colored
differences. Discuss specific sections with others to make the right changes.

## Manage and serve Git repositories

Gerrit includes Git-enabled SSH and HTTPS servers compatible with all
Git clients.  Simplify management by hosting many Git repositories
together.

Schedule [git gc] over all managed repositories and [replicate] to
geographical mirrors for latency reduction and backup servers for hot
spare redundancy.

## Extensible through plugins

Gerrit Code Review can be extended and further customized by installing
[server-side plugins][plugins]. Source code for additional plugins
can be found through the [project listing](https://gerrit.googlesource.com/plugins/).
