Gerrit

SmartGit provides a Push to Gerrit command in the Branches view if a Gerrit remote has been detected. It will offer a dialog with special Gerrit-related Push options.

SmartGit will detect a remote as being connected to Gerrit, if:

  • .git/hooks/commit-msg exists; and
  • an appropriate remote can be determined from .gitconfig for the selected branch:
    • if the remote is configured as review.remote this remote will be used; you should already have the appropriate configuration present when you are using the git-review command line tool.
    • if the branch is tracking a remote branch and its remote is connecting to port 29418 (default Gerrit SSH port), this remote will be used
    • if the branch is not tracking a remote branch:
      • if there is a unique remote connecting to port 29418, this remote is used
      • if there is no remote connecting to port 29418 but there is just a single remote overall, this remote is used

To have Gerrit-related commands available in context menu, set Low-level Property ui.showPushToGerritInMenu.
