| 3 | Gerrit is a web-based code review tool built on top of the |
| 4 | https://git-scm.com/[Git version control system]. This introduction provides |
| 5 | an overview of Gerrit and describes how Gerrit integrates into a typical |
| 6 | development workflow. It also provides a brief tutorial that shows how to manage |
| 7 | a change using Gerrit. |

| 9 | == What is Gerrit? |
| 10 | |
| 11 | Gerrit makes code review easy by providing a lightweight framework for reviewing |
| 12 | commits before they are accepted by the codebase. Gerrit works equally well for |
| 13 | projects where approving changes is restricted to selected users, as is typical |
| 14 | for Open Source software development, as well as projects where all contributors |
| 15 | are trusted. |
