notes on gerrit and gitlab

  • Here are some scripts to integrate Gitlab CI with Gerrit: mobimentum/gitlab-ci-gerrit. They are php, so will need to be rewritten in Python or something, but it’s a nice starting point.
  • There is a ridiculous alternative called gerritlab, which just recreates the patch-driven workflow in GitLab. It’s interesting but let’s not use this.
  • Here is a nice explainer of gerrit: Gerrit Code Review, section “3. Installation” describes how to replicate a Gitlab repo.
  • Maybe I can use the replication plugin to bridge the gap to GitLab?
  • Integrate Gerrit with Gitlab, this makes it seem like it’s easy using the replication plugin.
