Gerrit/Navigation/en

Gerrit's user interface can be difficult to navigate. The following documentation helps find stuff in the web user interface of Gerrit.

Browsing projects

 * To view all projects, select Browse > Repositories in the top bar.
 * The core MediaWiki source code is in the project "mediawiki/core".
 * Use "Repository Browser > gitiles" to inspect the code base.
 * If you want to look at the code for the version of MediaWiki or an extension deployed on some wiki, visit that wiki's Special:Version page and look for the corresponding branch or commit. Then select the corresponding branch in the sidebar of gitiles.
 * Select "Changes > View all" to see the latest commits.

Browsing code in a repository
After selecting Browse > Repositories in the top bar and selecting a code repository, select "Repository Browser > gitiles" to browse its code base.

Search queries
Gerrit offers a search field in the upper right corner. It includes a full-text search on commit messages, authors or reviewers (names and email addresses), etc.

To search for specific values items, use keywords.

Example: List of commits to all MediaWiki repos which have been, or need to be, reviewed by the Gerrit user called "brion":

It excludes the L10n-bot which sometimes alters the results.

Example: List of commits authored by anyone in the newcomers group and the commits passed CI (have a positive Verified label) and have either CR-1 or CR-2 (patch needs rework):

Search queries via SSH
You can also run queries from the command line. This requires a developer account. Connect over ssh to execute commands of the form  on the gerrit host. The search operators are the same as in the web interface. See the query command documentation.

Example: List of unreviewed commits under mediawiki:

For the number of unreviewed patches, see the  value in the output of this command.
