| # What is Gerrit Code Review? |
| |
| Gerrit provides web based code review and repository management |
| for the Git version control system. |
| |
| If you are new to Gerrit, you may read a [Quick Introduction](https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/Documentation/intro-quick.html) |
| directly from the Google-hosted documentation Gerrit web-site: |
| |
| > Gerrit is intended to provide a lightweight framework for reviewing |
| > every commit before it is accepted into the code base. Changes are |
| > uploaded to Gerrit but don’t actually become a part of the project |
| > until they’ve been reviewed and accepted. |
| |
| # What is Gerrit User Summit? |
| |
| Gerrit User Summit is THE event for everything related |
| to the Gerrit Code Review Community. |
| |
| The Gerrit User Summit is the place where all of major Gerrit users |
| annually meet and exchange experiences and practices that foster the |
| community with new and useful ideas. |
