Gerrit

Open-source code review platform for Git-based development.

Visit Gerrit

Gerrit is an open source, web-based code review system for Git repositories. It provides patchset-based review workflows, fine-grained permissions, and integration with CI/CD pipelines, allowing teams to collaborate on changes before they are applied to a main repository.

Key capabilities include inline comments, patchset management, configurable approval processes, and a fine-grained permission model. Gerrit offers a REST API, webhook support, CLI tools, and IDE integrations, along with a plugin ecosystem of community plugins. It integrates with Jenkins, GitHub Actions, and Zuul for pre-merge testing and gating. Gerrit can be deployed standalone, via Docker, or through GerritHub.io, which provides a hosted instance with GitHub repository integration.

Gerrit is suited to teams of varying sizes, from small groups to large organizations with complex team structures and regulated environments. It is open source with no licensing fees. GerritHub.io is free to use, including for private repositories. Enterprise support options are available.
