Gerrit Code Review

A web-based code review and Git repository management tool used by projects like Android, Chromium, and Eclipse. Gerrit ships with an embedded H2 database and Lucene search index, requiring no external dependencies.

Getting Started

1. Open the web UI at your domain — Gerrit displays a guided setup page on first launch
2. First user becomes admin — the first account to sign in is automatically granted administrator privileges
3. Create a Git repository — use the web UI or SSH to create new projects
4. Push code for review — push to refs/for/main to create a code review change
5. Review and submit — review code inline with side-by-side diffs, vote, and submit changes
