git-review is a tool that helps submitting git branches to gerrit for
review.
-Setup
------
-
-By default, git-review will look for a remote named 'gerrit' for working
-with Gerrit. If the remote exists, git-review will submit 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.
-
-The name of the Gerrit remote is configurable; see the configuration
-section below.
-
-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 disable autogenerated topic::
-
- git review -T
-
-If you want to submit a branch for review and then remove the local branch::
-
- git review -f
-
-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
-
-If you want to download patchset 4 for change 781 from gerrit to review it::
-
- git review -d 781,4
-
-If you want to compare patchset 4 with patchset 10 of change 781 from gerrit::
-
- git review -m 781,4-10
-
-If you just want to do the commit message and remote setup steps::
-
- git review -s
-
-.gitreview file format
-----------------------
-
-Example .gitreview file (used to upload for git-review itself)::
-
- [gerrit]
- host=review.openstack.org
- port=29418
- project=openstack-infra/git-review.git
- defaultbranch=master
-
-Required values: host, project
-
-Optional values: port (default: 29418), defaultbranch (default: master),
-defaultremote (default: gerrit).
-
-**Notes**
-
-* Username is not required because it is requested on first run
-
-* Unlike git config files, there cannot be any whitespace before the name
- of the variable.
-
-* Upon first run, git-review will create a remote for working with Gerrit,
- if it does not already exist. By default, the remote name is 'gerrit',
- but this can be overridden with the 'defaultremote' configuration
- option.
-
-* You can specify different values to be used as defaults in
- ~/.config/git-review/git-review.conf or /etc/git-review/git-review.conf.
-
-Hooks
------
-
-git-review has a custom hook mechanism to run a script before certain
-actions. This is done in the same spirit as the classic hooks in git.
-
-There are two types of hooks, a global one which is stored in
-~/.config/git-review/hooks/ and one local to the repository stored in
-.git/hooks/ with the other git hook scripts.
-
-**The script needs be executable before getting executed**
-
-The name of the script is $action-review where action can be
-:
-
-* pre - run at first before doing anything.
-
-* post - run at the end after the review was sent.
-
-* draft - run when in draft mode.
-
-if the script returns with an exit status different than zero,
-git-review will exit with the a custom shell exit code 71.
-
-Installation
-------------
-
-Install with pip install git-review
-
-For assistance installing pip on your os check out get-pip:
-http://pip.readthedocs.org/en/latest/installing.html
-
-For installation from source simply add git-review to your $PATH
-after installing the dependencies listed in requirements.txt
-
-Running tests
--------------
-
-Running tests for git-review means running a local copy of Gerrit to
-check that git-review interacts correctly with it. This requires the
-following:
-
-* a Java Runtime Environment on the machine to run tests on
-
-* Internet access to download the gerrit.war file, or a locally
- cached copy (it needs to be located in a .gerrit directory at the
- top level of the git-review project)
-
-To run git-review integration tests the following commands may by run::
-
- tox -e py27
- tox -e py26
- tox -e py32
- tox -e py33
-
-depending on what Python interpreter would you like to use.
