Gerrit staging commands

Overview

Gerrit provides a command line interface to handle staging related activities. These commands provide a mechanism for viewing and managing the status of gerrit branches. This can be as simple as listing the currently staged items associated with a project/branch, the creation of a new build for a project/branch and the status setting of staged items that have passed or failed some "integration step":http://wiki.qt.io/Gerrit_Introduction#a08363df2815db284c1d8e68994b5522.

The version of gerrit that is running on codereview.qt.io has been modified from the original code base. These changes are available "here":http://qt.io/

Staging List

This lists all the commits that have been applied to the staging branch.

gerrit staging-ls -p <gerrit project> -b <source branch> -d <destination><code>

== Staging Pass ==

This is the integration approval command that merges all staged and currently integrating commits into the master branch and changes the gerrit status to merged.

gerrit staging-approve -p <gerrit project> -i <gerrit build> -b <source branch> -r pass -m <message>

Staging Fail

This is the integration fail command that cancels currently integrating commits and changes gerrit status back to 'review in progress'.

gerrit staging-approve -p <gerrit project> -i <gerrit build> -b <source branch> -r fail -m <message> <code>

== Staging New Build ==

This creates a new build and places all the currently staged commits into a unique build branch and changes the gerrit status to INTEGRATING.

gerrit staging-new-build -p <gerrit project> -s <source branch> -i <gerrit build id>

SSH Access

Access to these commands are typically handled via an SSH connection to the gerrit server on qt.io. This through port 29418 to codereview.qt.io with the following syntax

ssh -p 29418 codereview.qt.io gerrit <gerrit command/options><code>

== Gerrit Help ==

To obtain a printout of help from gerrit there is a help option that can be passed to the server.

ssh -p 29418 codereview.qt.io gerrit —help
