| Importer - Gerrit Plugin to import projects |
| =========================================== |
| |
| The importer plugin allows to import projects from one Gerrit server |
| into another Gerrit server. |
| |
| Projects can be imported while both source and target Gerrit server |
| are online. There is no downtime required. |
| |
| The git repository and all changes of the project, including approvals |
| and review comments, are imported. Historic timestamps are preserved. |
| |
| Project imports can be resumed. This means a project team can continue |
| to work in the source system while the import to the target system is |
| done. By resuming the import the project in the target system can be |
| updated with the missing delta. |
| |
| The importer plugin can also be used to copy a project within one |
| Gerrit server, and in combination with the |
| [delete-project](https://gerrit.googlesource.com/plugins/delete-project/+doc/master/src/main/resources/Documentation/about.md) |
| plugin it can be used to rename a project. |
