| # 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. |
