Gerrit is a free, web-based team code collaboration tool. Software developers in a team can review each other's modifications on their source code using a Web browser and approve or reject those changes. It integrates closely with Git, a distributed version control system.

Gerrit is a fork of Rietveld, another code review tool. "Gerrit" is the given name of Gerrit Rietveld (1888–1964), a Dutch designer after whom Rietveld is named.[1]

History

Gerrit was developed at Google by Shawn Pearce (founder of JGit) for the development of the Android project.[2]

Starting from a set of patches for Rietveld, also a software review tool, it became a fork and evolved into a separate project when ACL patches wouldn't be merged into Rietveld by its author, Guido van Rossum.[3]

Design

Originally written in Python like Rietveld, it is now written in Java (Java EE Servlet) with SQL since version 2. Gerrit uses Google Web Toolkit to generate front-end JavaScript code from Java source.[4]
