What is Gerrit?

Gerrit is a free, open source web-based code review tool built specifically around Git. It implements a patchset-based review workflow, similar in spirit to the process used by the Linux kernel and Git projects, where changes are proposed, reviewed, revised, and voted on before being merged. It offers fine-grained permissions, a REST API, and more than 100 community plugins for extending its functionality.

Released under the Apache 2.0 license, Gerrit is completely free to use at any scale and has no official vendor pricing since it is a community-driven open source project. It is used by large-scale projects including Android, Chromium, and Qt, and is designed to handle thousands of concurrent developers with support for global replication and zero-downtime upgrades.
