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.
