Code Reviews with Gerrit

on YouTube ↗40m

" summary

Gerrit is presented as a Git-integrated code review gate that developers use by pushing changes over SSH; it automates workflows via Git hooks and scripts (generating Change-Id hooks, sharing hook configs globally, scripting reviewer lists). Examples include using a single Change-Id to track multiple patchsets, Jenkins integration that auto-verifies builds/tests and posts approvals, and a real failure case where misuse of submit/publish actions caused an unintended push to the final repository.
