Client

Client commands and hooks can be downloaded via scp, wget or curl from Gerrit’s daemon, and then executed on the client system.

To download a client command or hook, use scp or an http client:

  $ scp -p -P 29418 john.doe@review.example.com:bin/gerrit-cherry-pick ~/bin/
  $ scp -p -P 29418 john.doe@review.example.com:hooks/commit-msg .git/hooks/

  $ curl -Lo ~/bin/gerrit-cherry-pick http://review.example.com/tools/bin/gerrit-cherry-pick
  $ curl -Lo .git/hooks/commit-msg http://review.example.com/tools/hooks/commit-msg

Commands

Hooks

Client hooks can be installed into a local Git repository, improving the developer experience when working with a Gerrit Code Review server.

  • commit-msg Automatically generate `Change-Id: ` tags in commit messages.

Server

Aside from the standard Git server side actions, Gerrit supports several other commands over its internal SSH daemon. As Gerrit does not provide an interactive shell, the commands must be triggered from an ssh client, for example:

  $ ssh -p 29418 review.example.com gerrit ls-projects
