I've been working on a bot to copy Github Pull Requests into Gerrit reviews, using the Google-hosted Gerrit servers.

My bot isn't running publicly yet, but you can see the start of it working at:

https://github.com/grpc/grpc-go/pull/546 or https://github.com/grpc/grpc-go/pull/545

(Code is at https://github.com/LetsUseGerrit/gerritbot for now, but I don't imagine anybody would use the code themselves... they'd only interact with it via the Github bot)

Gerrit has an excellent REST API, and because I like working with code in a terminal, I wrote Gertty -- a terminal based interface to Gerrit. It should work with the Google hosted servers.

Gertty is the greatest greatness ever. Doing code reviews on a plane and syncing up when back online is so cool. Thank you for your work on this.

Is there any public "how to" about Gerrit? I've interacted with it a few times for Go codereviews, but not frequently enough to get comfortable. Really simple things like finding the "submit comments" button I have to spend five minutes finding every time.

I don't know of a general "how to" but 'a' is a keyboard shortcut to send a reply (with comments).

Expanding on this, typing '?' will bring up the help, like gmail.
