Gerrit Code Review Skill

Interact with a Gerrit Code Review instance through its REST API. Query open changes, read diffs, post code reviews, and manage change lifecycle (submit, abandon, restore).

Prerequisites

Authentication

The helper script checks credentials in this order:

1. ~/.netrc file (recommended) — most secure; credentials stay out of the process list and environment.
2. Environment variables — fallback when .netrc is not configured for the Gerrit host.

GERRIT_URL is always required (set it in your shell profile):

export GERRIT_URL="https://gerrit.example.com"  # no trailing slash
