# git-review

A git command for submitting branches to Gerrit

git-review is a tool that helps submitting git branches to gerrit for review

## Setup

git-review, by default, looks for a git remote called gerrit, and submits the current branch to HEAD:refs/for/master at that remote.

If the "gerrit" remote does not exist, git-review looks for a file called .gitreview at the root of the repository with information about the gerrit remote.

If you want to manually create a gerrit remote, for example, to set it to the OpenStack Compute (nova) project (assuming you have previously signed in to the [OpenStack Gerrit server](https://review.openstack.org) with your Launchpad account), you would do:

    USERNAME=jsmith # Launchpad username here
    PROJECT=openstack/nova
    git remote add gerrit ssh://$USERNAME@review.openstack.org:29418/$PROJECT.git


## Usage

Hack on some code, then:

    git review

If you want to submit that code to a different target branch, then:

    git review branchname

If you want to submit to a different remote:

    git review -r my-remote

If you want to supply a review topic:

    git review -t topic/awesome-feature

If you want to submit your change to a branch other than master:

    git review milestone-proposed

If you want to skip the automatic rebase -i step:

    git review -R

If you want to download change 781 from gerrit to review it:

    git review -d 781
