Welcome to the User Guide for Gerrit for Git MultiSite.
1. What is Gerrit
Gerrit is an open source code review tool that works with Git. When equipped with Git and Gerrit, software development teams have a solid workflow for centralized Git usage where code changes can be submitted by authorized users, reviewed, approved and automatically merged in, greatly reducing the work load of the repository maintainers.
Read more about Git MultiSite on the WANdisco website.
2. Using this guide
This guide is focused on how Gerrit Code Review is integrated with WANdisco's Git MultiSite , it is not intended to replace Gerrit's own documentation on general use of Gerrit. You can find Gerrit's own documentation from the Gerrit web UI.
Gerrit Documentation link
Some Gerrit operations are handled through Git MultiSite's admin UI, where it makes sense we link to these operation in the Git MultiSite's own documentation.
