When commiting with "git commit --cleanup=scissors" or "git commit --verbose", Git includes the following lines in the commit message template, with additional information that should not go in the commit message after it: # ------------------------ >8 ------------------------ # Do not modify or remove the line above. # Everything below it will be ignored. In I78b50a789860cc11d63d891b0507786890158754 (Handle messages with only comments in the commit-msg hook, 2018-12-18), we started stripping comments from the proposed commit message in order to determine whether it is empty and as an accidental side effect we lost this line. As a result, Git includes the supporting information (e.g., the diff) in the commit message. Fortunately we only needed to strip out comments in order to check for emptiness. Afterward, the hook invokes "git interpret-trailers", which is prepared to cope with comments and scissor lines in front of a diff in recent versions of Git[*]. Fix the hook to work in scissors mode by using the stripped commit message only for the emptiness check and going back to the unstripped message for subsequent steps. This way, users can run "git commit -v" without having the diff end up in the resulting commit message. Users with older versions of Git will not benefit from this fix, but it does not produce a regression there, either: "git commit" in cleanup modes other than scissors continues to work as expected. In other words, in all cases this works as well as before I78b50a78986. [*] v2.13.1~16^2 (interpret-trailers: honor the cut line, 2017-05-15) Bug: Issue 10346 Change-Id: I633e5db4643851376422f839d969094043abb5c5 (cherry picked from commit 731eb42b8aed36cb9b3b584458479484e77c4f48)
Gerrit Code Review
Gerrit is a code review and project management tool for Git based projects.
Objective
Gerrit makes reviews easier by showing changes in a side-by-side display, and allowing inline comments to be added by any reviewer.
Gerrit simplifies Git based project maintainership by permitting any authorized user to submit changes to the master Git repository, rather than requiring all approved changes to be merged in by hand by the project maintainer.
Documentation
For information about how to install and use Gerrit, refer to the documentation.

The instruction how to configure GerritForge/BinTray repositories is here
On Debian/Ubuntu run:
apt-get update & apt-get install gerrit=<version>-<release>
NOTE: release is a counter that starts with 1 and indicates the number of packages that have been released with the same version of the software.
On CentOS/RedHat run:
yum clean all && yum install gerrit-<version>[-<release>]
On Fedora run:
dnf clean all && dnf install gerrit-<version>[-<release>]
Use pre-built Gerrit images on Docker
Docker images of Gerrit are available on DockerHub
To run a CentOS 7 based Gerrit image:
docker run -p 8080:8080 gerritforge/gerrit-centos7[:version]
To run a Ubuntu 15.04 based Gerrit image:
docker run -p 8080:8080 gerritforge/gerrit-ubuntu15.04[:version]
NOTE: release is optional. Last released package of the version is installed if the release number is omitted.
