@PLUGIN@ Configuration

By configuration it is possible to specify which download schemes and commands are enabled.

The configuration must be done in the gerrit.config of the Gerrit server.

Section download

[download]
  command = branch
  command = checkout
  command = cherry_pick
  command = pull
  command = format_patch
  command = reset
  scheme = ssh
  scheme = http
  scheme = anon_http
  scheme = anon_git
  scheme = repo
  hide = ssh
  recurseSubmodules = true

The download section configures the allowed download methods.

download.command : Commands that should be offered to download changes.

Multiple commands are supported:

* `branch`: Command to fetch and create a new branch from the patch set.

* `checkout`: Command to fetch and checkout the patch set.

* `cherry_pick`: Command to fetch the patch set and cherry-pick
it onto the current commit.

* `pull`: Command to pull the patch set.

* `format_patch`: Command to fetch the patch set and feed it
into the `format-patch` command.

* `reset`: Command to fetch the patch set and reset the current branch
(or HEAD) to it.

If `download.command` is not specified, all download commands are
offered.

download.scheme : Schemes that should be used to download changes.

Multiple schemes are supported:

* `http`: Authenticated HTTP download is allowed.

* `ssh`: Authenticated SSH download is allowed.

* `anon_http`: Anonymous HTTP download is allowed.

* `anon_git`: Anonymous Git download is allowed.  This is not
default, it is also necessary to set [gerrit.canonicalGitUrl]
(../../../Documentation/config-gerrit.html#gerrit.canonicalGitUrl)
variable.

* `repo`: Gerrit advertises patch set downloads with the `repo download`
command, assuming that all projects managed by this instance are generally
worked on with the
[repo multi-repository tool](https://gerrit.googlesource.com/git-repo)
tool.  This is not default, as not all instances will deploy repo.

If `download.scheme` is not specified, SSH, HTTP and Anonymous HTTP
downloads are allowed.

download.hide : Schemes that can be used to download changes, but will not be advertised in the UI. This can be any scheme that can be configured in <<download.scheme>>.

This is mostly useful in a deprecation scenario during a time where using
a scheme is discouraged, but has to be supported until all clients have
migrated to use a different scheme.

By default, no scheme will be hidden in the UI.

download.recurseSubmodules Add --recurse-submodules to the checkout command to update submodules while checking out change.

Note: recursive checkout can issue multiple parallel fetch requests increasing
the load on the server.

By default, set to `false`.

download.checkForHiddenChangeRefs : Whether the download commands should be adapted when the change refs are hidden.

Git has a configuration option to hide refs from the initial
advertisement (`uploadpack.hideRefs`). This option can be used to
hide the change refs from the client. As consequence fetching
changes by change ref does not work anymore. However by setting
`uploadpack.allowTipSHA1InWant` to `true` fetching changes by
commit ID is possible. If `download.checkForHiddenChangeRefs` is
set to `true` the git download commands use the commit ID instead
of the change ref when a project is configured like this.

Example git configuration on a project:

	[uploadpack]
	  hideRefs = refs/changes/
	  hideRefs = refs/cache-automerge/
	  allowTipSHA1InWant = true

By default `false`.

Section gerrit

[gerrit]
  installCommitMsgHookCommand = command
  installCommitExtraCommand = command

gerrit.installCommitMsgHookCommand Optional command to install the commit-msg hook. Typically of the form: fetch-cmd some://url/to/commit-msg .git/hooks/commit-msg ; chmod +x .git/hooks/commit-msg By default unset; falls back to using scp from the canonical SSH host, or curl from the canonical HTTP URL for the server. Only necessary if a proxy or other server/network configuration prevents clients from fetching from the default location.

gerrit.installCommitExtraCommand Optional command to complete the commit-msg hook. For example: git submodule update --init --recursive && git review -s would initialize the submodules and setup git review.

Section plugin.@PLUGIN@

[plugin "@PLUGIN@"]
	sshdAdvertisedPrimaryAddress = host:port

plugin.@PLUGIN@.sshdAdvertisedPrimaryAddress Specifies the address where clients can reach a Gerrit primary instance via ssh protocol.

This may differ from sshd.listenAddress if fetch is served from another address. An example is a setup where upload-pack requests are served by a Gerrit replica and receive-pack by a Gerrit primary. Since ssh cannot be load balanced on layer 7 the addresses of the primary and replica need to be different.

The following forms may be used to specify an address. In any form, :'port' may be omitted to use the default SSH port of 22.

  • 'hostname':'port' (for example review.example.com:22)
  • 'IPv4':'port' (for example 10.0.0.1:29418)
  • ['IPv6']:'port' (for example [ff02::1]:29418)

By default unset.
