Gerrit is great, and its review-per-commit model really encourages numerous small, logical, easy-to-digest code reviews over a few monstrous ones -- just the way we prefer it. However, that also means we end up doing a lot of small code reviews that are so simple and straightforward, that often we'd rather just read and approve the change right when we receive the code review notification in Gmail. That's what this Chrome extension is -- a frictionless UI for performing your common Gerrit actions without leaving Gmail. It is a mini Gerrit client built right into your Gmail. If you use Gerrit, and you use Gmail, this is for you.
This Chrome extension aims to implement a very basic Gerrit workflow into your Gmail, based on the emails Gerrit sends. Specifically,
On new patch set emails,
* Colored diffs will be displayed for the patch set. If this is not the first patch set, we diff it against the last-commented-upon patch set rather than the Base, so you can more easily track the evolution of the change!
* Double-click on a diff line to make a comment.
* Approve and submit changes.
On new comment emails,
* Comments from previous emails are threaded and displayed together, so that discussions on the same line are easier to follow.
* You can reply to comments directly from Gmail.
In the Inbox / threadlist view, status of Gerrit emails are displayed as either "New", "Merged", "Approved", "Needs Review", "Reviewed", "Waiting", "Rejected", or "Failed", so you can at a glance figure out which Gerrit emails to pay attention to.
And some convenient shortcuts: "w" to open change in Gerrit, and "W" to approve the change.
Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
