It is designed to make it easier to comprehend Gerrit, especially for users that have recently switched to Git from another version control system. .Pp .Ar change can be .Ar changeNumber as obtained using .Fl \-list option, or it can be .Ar changeNumber,patchsetNumber for fetching exact patchset from the change. In that case local branch name will have a \-patch[patchsetNumber] suffix. .Pp The following options are available: .Bl -tag -width indent .It Fl d Ar change , Fl \-download= Ns Ar change Download .Ar change from Gerrit into a local branch. The branch will be named after the patch author and the name of a topic. If the local branch already exists, it will attempt to update with the latest patchset for this change. .It Fl x Ar change , Fl \-cherrypick= Ns Ar change Apply .Ar change from Gerrit and commit into the current local branch ("cherry pick"). No additional branch is created. .Pp This makes it possible to review a change without creating a local branch for it. On the other hand, be aware: if you are not careful, this can easily result in additional patch sets for dependent changes. Also, if the current branch is different enough, the change may not apply at all or produce merge conflicts that need to be resolved by hand. .It Fl N Ar change , Fl \-cherrypickonly= Ns Ar change Apply .Ar change from Gerrit into the current working directory, add it to the staging area ("git index"), but do not commit it. .Pp This makes it possible to review a change without creating a local commit for it. Useful if you want to merge several commits into one that will be submitted for review. .Pp If the current branch is different enough, the change may not apply at all or produce merge conflicts that need to be resolved by hand. .It Fl X Ar change , Fl \-cherrypickindicate= Ns Ar change Apply .Ar change from Gerrit and commit into the current local branch ("cherry pick"), indicating which commit this change was cherry\-picked from. .Pp This makes it possible to re\-review a change for a different branch without creating a local branch for it. .Pp If the current branch is different enough, the change may not apply at all or produce merge conflicts that need to be resolved by hand. .It Fl m Ar change\-ps\-range , Fl \-compare= Ns Ar change\-ps\-range Download the specified patchsets for .Ar change from Gerrit, rebase both on master and display differences (git\-diff). .Pp .Ar change\-ps\-range can be specified as .Ar changeNumber, Ns Ar oldPatchSetNumber Ns Op Ns Ar \-newPatchSetNumber .Pp .Ar oldPatchSetNumber is mandatory, and if .Ar newPatchSetNumber is not specified, the latest patchset will be used. .Pp This makes it possible to easily compare what has changed from last time you reviewed the proposed change. .Pp If the master branch is different enough, the rebase can produce merge conflicts. If that happens rebasing will be aborted and diff displayed for not\-rebased branches. You can also use .Ar \-\-no\-rebase ( Ar \-R ) to always skip rebasing. .It Fl f , Fl \-finish Close down the local branch and switch back to the target branch on successful submission. .It Fl n , Fl \-dry\-run Don\(aqt actually perform any commands that have direct effects. Print them instead. .It Fl r Ar remote , Fl \-remote= Ns Ar remote Git remote to use for Gerrit. .It Fl s , Fl \-setup Just run the repo setup commands but don\(aqt submit anything. .It Fl t Ar topic , Fl \-topic= Ns Ar topic Sets the target topic for this change on the gerrit server. If not specified, a bug number from the commit summary will be used. Alternatively, the local branch name will be used if different from remote branch. .It Fl T , Fl \-no\-topic Submit review without topic. .It Fl u , Fl \-update Skip cached local copies and force updates from network resources. .It Fl l , Fl \-list List the available reviews on the gerrit server for this project. .It Fl y , Fl \-yes Indicate that you do, in fact, understand if you are submitting more than one patch. .It Fl v Fl \-verbose Turns on more verbose output. .It Fl D , Fl \-draft Submit review as a draft. Requires Gerrit 2.3 or newer. .It Fl R , Fl \-no\-rebase Do not automatically perform a rebase before submitting the change to Gerrit. .Pp When submitting a change for review, you will usually want it to be based on the tip of upstream branch in order to avoid possible conflicts. When amending a change and rebasing the new patchset, the Gerrit web interface will show a difference between the two patchsets which contains all commits in between. This may confuse many reviewers that would expect to see a much simpler difference. .Pp Also can be used for .Fl \-compare to skip automatic rebase of fetched reviews. .It Fl \-version Print the version number and exit. .El .Sh CONFIGURATION This utility can be configured by adding entries to Git configuration. .Pp The following configuration keys are supported: .Bl -tag .It gitreview.username Default username used to access the repository. If not specified in the Git configuration, Git remote or .Pa .gitreview file, the user will be prompted to specify the username. .Pp Example entry in the .Pa .gitconfig file: .Bd -literal -offset indent [gitreview] username=\fImygerrituser\fP .Ed .It gitreview.scheme This setting determines the default scheme (ssh/http/https) of gerrit remote .Ed .It gitreview.host This setting determines the default hostname of gerrit remote .Ed .It gitreview.port This setting determines the default port of gerrit remote .Ed .It gitreview.project This setting determines the default name of gerrit git repo .Ed .It gitreview.remote This setting determines the default name to use for gerrit remote .Ed .It gitreview.branch This setting determines the default branch .Ed .It gitreview.rebase This setting determines whether changes submitted will be rebased to the newest state of the branch. .Pp A value of 'true' or 'false' should be specified. .Bl -tag .It false Do not rebase changes on submit \- equivalent to setting .Fl R when submitting changes. .It true Do rebase changes on submit. This is the default value unless overridden by .Pa .gitreview file. .El .Pp This setting takes precedence over repository\-specific configuration in the .Pa .gitreview file. .El .Bl -tag .It color.review Whether to use ANSI escape sequences to add color to the output displayed by this command. Default value is determined by color.ui. .Bl -tag .It auto or true If you want output to use color when written to the terminal (default with Git 1.8.4 and newer). .It always If you want all output to use color .It never or false If you wish not to use color for any output. (default with Git older than 1.8.4) .El .El .Pp .Nm will query git credential system for gerrit user/password when authentication failed over http(s). Unlike git, .Nm does not persist gerrit user/password in git credential system for security purposes and git credential system configuration stays under user responsibility. .Sh FILES To use .Nm with your project, it is recommended that you create a file at the root of the repository named .Pa .gitreview and place information about your gerrit installation in it. The format is similar to the Windows .ini file format: .Bd -literal -offset indent [gerrit] host=\fIhostname\fP port=\fITCP port number of gerrit\fP project=\fIproject name\fP defaultbranch=\fIbranch to work on\fP .Ed .Pp It is also possible to specify optional default name for the Git remote using the .Cm defaultremote configuration parameter. .Pp Setting .Cm defaultrebase to zero will make .Nm not to rebase changes by default (same as the .Fl R command line option) .Bd -literal -offset indent [gerrit] scheme=ssh host=review.example.com port=29418 project=department/project.git defaultbranch=master defaultremote=review defaultrebase=0 .Ed .Pp When the same option is provided through FILES and CONFIGURATION, the CONFIGURATION value wins. .Pp .Sh DIAGNOSTICS .Pp Normally, exit status is 0 if executed successfully. Exit status 1 indicates general error, sometimes more specific error codes are available: .Bl -tag -width 999 .It 2 Gerrit .Ar commit\-msg hook could not be successfully installed. .It 32 Cannot fetch list of open changesets from Gerrit. .It 33 Cannot parse list of open changesets received from Gerrit. .It 34 Cannot query information about changesets. .It 35 Cannot fetch information about the changeset to be downloaded. .It 36 Changeset not found. .It 37 Particular patchset cannot be fetched from the remote git repository. .It 38 Specified patchset number not found in the changeset. .It 39 Invalid patchsets for comparison. .It 64 Cannot checkout downloaded patchset into the new branch. .It 65 Cannot checkout downloaded patchset into existing branch. .It 66 Cannot hard reset working directory and git index after download. .It 67 Cannot switch to some other branch when trying to finish the current branch. .It 68 Cannot delete current branch. .It 69 Requested patchset cannot be fully applied to the current branch. This exit status will be returned when there are merge conflicts with the current branch. Possible reasons include an attempt to apply patchset from the different branch or code. This exit status will also be returned if the patchset is already applied to the current branch. .It 70 Cannot determine top level Git directory or .git subdirectory path. .It 101 Unauthorized (401) http request done by git-review. .It 104 Not Found (404) http request done by git-review. .El .Pp Exit status larger than 31 indicates problem with communication with Gerrit or remote Git repository, exit status larger than 63 means there was a problem with a local repository or a working copy. .Pp Exit status larger than or equal to 128 means internal error in running the "git" command. .Pp .Sh EXAMPLES To fetch a remote change number 3004: .Pp .Bd -literal -offset indent $ git\-review \-d 3004 Downloading refs/changes/04/3004/1 from gerrit into review/someone/topic_name Switched to branch 'review/someone/topic_name $ git branch master * review/author/topic_name .Ed .Pp Gerrit looks up both name of the author and the topic name from Gerrit to name a local branch. This facilitates easier identification of changes. .Pp To fetch a remote patchset number 5 from change number 3004: .Pp .Bd -literal -offset indent $ git\-review \-d 3004,5 Downloading refs/changes/04/3004/5 from gerrit into review/someone/topic_name\-patch5 Switched to branch 'review/someone/topic_name\-patch5 $ git branch master * review/author/topic_name\-patch5 .Ed .Pp To send a change for review and delete local branch afterwards: .Bd -literal -offset indent $ git\-review \-f remote: Resolving deltas: 0% (0/8) To ssh://username@review.example.com/department/project.git * [new branch] HEAD \-> refs/for/master/topic_name Switched to branch 'master' Deleted branch 'review/someone/topic_name' $ git branch * master .Ed .Pp An example .Pa .gitreview configuration file for a project .Pa department/project hosted on .Cm review.example.com port .Cm 29418 in the branch .Cm master : .Bd -literal -offset indent [gerrit] host=review.example.com port=29418 project=department/project.git defaultbranch=master .Ed .Sh BUGS Bug reports can be submitted to .Lk https://launchpad.net/git\-review .Sh AUTHORS .Nm is maintained by .An "OpenStack, LLC" .Pp This manpage has been enhanced by: .An "Antoine Musso" Aq hashar@free.fr .An "Marcin Cieslak" Aq saper@saper.info .An "Pavel Sedlák" Aq psedlak@redhat.com
