Code Review using Gerrit Git and EGit - TechTalk

TechTalk | Code Review using Gerrit, Git and EGit

September 23, 2010

Gerrit [1] is a web-based code review system that supports online code reviews in projects in which the Git [2] version control system is used. It makes reviews easier by displaying changes by the pageful and providing the option for every developer to add inline comments.
This talk provides an overview of the Code Review topic and the use of Gerrit, Git and EGit [3] and their effective implementation. A demo illustrates the use of these tools in Open Source projects (Android, EGit), and draws comparisons with conventional review processes, as used by the Linux and Eclipse Open Source community.

ABOUT TECHTALK

With the TechTalk format, the Developer Garden – Telekom's developers' platform – offers a discussion forum for developer topics and trends in technology. The events begin with presentations and demonstrations from experts. The floor is then opened for questions and discussions. Afterwards, you can meet the speakers and other participants at the buffet, exchanging ideas and making new contacts.

TechTalks are currently taking place in Berlin and Darmstadt. And if you can't make it in person, you can follow the presentations as a live stream and participate in the online chat. We also post videos of the events on our YouTube channel afterwards.
