• Install Git (duh)

  ****    Welcome to Gerrit Code Review    ****

  Hi Robert P. J. Day, you have successfully connected over SSH.

  Unfortunately, interactive shells are disabled.
  To clone a hosted Git repository, use:

  git clone ssh://rpjday@gerrit.wikimedia.org:29418/REPOSITORY_NAME.git

Connection to gerrit.wikimedia.org closed.

Clone a test repo:

$ git clone ssh://rpjday@gerrit.wikimedia.org:29418/mediawiki/extensions/examples

The .git/config file:

[core]
        repositoryformatversion = 0
        filemode = true
        bare = false
        logallrefupdates = true
[remote "origin"]
        url = ssh://rpjday@gerrit.wikimedia.org:29418/mediawiki/extensions/examples
        fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
[branch "master"]
        remote = origin
        merge = refs/heads/master

The .gitreview file:

[gerrit]
host=gerrit.wikimedia.org
port=29418
project=mediawiki/extensions/examples.git
track=1

Finally, there are no configured hooks:

$ ls -1 .git/hooks
applypatch-msg.sample
commit-msg.sample
fsmonitor-watchman.sample
post-update.sample
pre-applypatch.sample
pre-commit.sample
pre-merge-commit.sample
prepare-commit-msg.sample
pre-push.sample
pre-rebase.sample
pre-receive.sample
update.sample
$

Verify remotes:

$ git remote -v
origin	ssh://rpjday@gerrit.wikimedia.org:29418/mediawiki/extensions/examples (fetch)
origin	ssh://rpjday@gerrit.wikimedia.org:29418/mediawiki/extensions/examples (push)
$

Point git-review at origin:

$ git config --global gitreview.remote origin

Adds .gitconfig info:

gitreview.remote=origin

Set up git-review:

$ git review -s

which does the following:

• check remote access for submitting branches (if no remote access, ask for username)
• create remote access called “gerrit” (doesn't seem to)
• install Gerrit commit-msg hook
