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

Tip

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

Info

If Push to Gerrit doesn’t show up for you despite of the above conditions being met, you may enable debug logging for “smartgit.gerrit”. For details refer to Debugging.
