+# Gertty, console-based interface to the Gerrit Code Review system
+
+Gertty is a console-based interface to the Gerrit Code Review system.
+
+As compared to the web interface, the main advantages are:
+
+* Workflow -- the interface is designed to support a workflow similar
+ to reading network news or mail. In particular, it is designed to
+ deal with a large number of review requests across a large number of
+ projects.
+
+* Offline Use -- Gertty syncs information about changes in subscribed
+ projects to a local database and local git repos. All review
+ operations are performed against that database and then synced back
+ to Gerrit.
+
+* Speed -- user actions modify locally cached content and need not
+ wait for server interaction.
+
+* Convenience -- because Gertty downloads all changes to local git
+ repos, a single command instructs it to checkout a change into that
+ repo for detailed examination or testing of larger changes.
+
+This presentation will provide an overview and demonstration of
+Gertty, as well as some discussion about Gerrit's excellent REST API.
