+git-gerrit
+==========
+
+**git-gerrit** is command line tool for the [Gerrit code review system][1], with an
+emphasis on the Gerrit legacy numerical identifiers. The heavy lifting is done
+with the **pygerrit2** package to access the Gerrit REST API.
+**git-gerrit** is compatible with Python 2 and Python 3.
+
+Commands::
+
+ git gerrit-help List commands.
+ git gerrit-query Search gerrit.
+ git gerrit-fetch Fetch by gerrit number.
+ git gerrit-checkout Fetch then checkout by gerrit number.
+ git gerrit-log Show oneline log with gerrit numbers.
+ git gerrit-unpicked Find gerrit numbers on upstream branch not cherry picked.
+ git gerrit-cherry-pick Cherry pick from upstream branch by gerrit number.
+ git gerrit-install-hooks Install git hooks to create gerrit change-ids.
+
+Installation
+============
+
+Install with pip::
+
+ $ pip install --user git-gerrit
+
+To install from source, clone the git repo and install with the provided
+makefile. `make` will run `pip` to install the package and
+requirements::
+
+ $ git clone https://github.com/meffie/git-gerrit.git
+ $ cd git-gerrit
+ $ make install
+
+Clone the git project under gerrit review, and in that project directory
+set the Gerrit host and project names in the local git configuration::
+
+ $ cd <your-gerrit-project>
+ $ git config gerrit.host <gerrit-hostname>
+ $ git config gerrit.project <gerrit-project>
+
+Finally, download the git hook provided by gerrit and a git hook provided
+by git-gerrit::
+
+ $ git gerrit-install-hooks
+
+Examples
+========
+
+Setup a local OpenAFS git repo::
+
+ $ git clone git://git.openafs.org/openeafs.git # (if not already cloned)

+List the gerrit topics on a branch::
+
+ $ git gerrit-query --format='{topic}' status:open branch:master | sort -u | head -n3
+ afsd-cache-verify
+ AFS-OSD-integration
+ afs_read-EOF
+
+Show gerrit submissions on the master branch I need to review::
+
+ $ git gerrit-query branch:master status:open NOT label:Code-Review=-2 NOT reviewer:tycobb@yoyodyne.com

+Using git aliases
+=================
+
+Commonly used queries can be saved as git aliases. For example to show the
+gerrits which have not been reviewed yet::
+
+ [alias]
+ # git gerrit-todo [<branch>] [<userid>]
+ gerrit-todo = "!f() { git-gerrit-query \"branch:${1-master} is:open NOT label:Code-Review>=+1,${2-$USER}\"; }; f"
