# 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. Assuming that file is present, git-review should
be able to automatically configure your repository the first time it
is run.
## Usage
Hack on some code, then:
git review
If you want to submit that code to a branch other than "master", 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 skip the automatic "git rebase -i" step:
git review -R
If you want to download change 781 from gerrit to review it:
git review -d 781
