Usage instructions
==================

Server configuration
--------------------

The out of the box config assumes that you have a $HOME/.ssh/config
file configured with a server alias called "review" that points to
your gerrit instance. For example the following config is possible

  Host review
    Hostname review.openstack.org
    User berrange
    Port 29418

Alternatively, create a configuration file $HOME/.gerrymander
containing

  [server]
  hostname=review.openstack.org
  username=berrange
  port=29418


Command listing
---------------

To get a list of all available commands just invoke the program
with the '-h' argument

  $ gerrymander

Command invocation
------------------

To use the 'changes' command to see all open changes by a particular user

  $ gerrymander  changes --project openstack/nova --owner russellb --status open
   -------- ------------------------------------ ---------- ----------------------------------- --------- --------- -------------- 
  | Status | URL                                | Owner    | Subject                           | Created | Updated | Approvals    |

   -------- ------------------------------------ ---------- ----------------------------------- --------- --------- -------------- 


For this command, the set of columns displayed can be customized via the '--field' argument:

  $ gerrymander  changes --project openstack/nova --owner russellb --status open --field url --field subject:50 --field lastUpdated --field approvals
   ------------------------------------ ----------------------------------------------- --------- -------------- 
  | URL                                | Subject                                       | Updated | Approvals    |

   ------------------------------------ ----------------------------------------------- --------- -------------- 


Default arguments
-----------------

Any command line argument can also be set in the configuration file. For example, given
a command called "changes", a config file section called "command-changes" can be used
to set default options. To make the above choice of fields permanent update the config
file to contain

  [command-changes]
  field = url, subject:50, lastUpdated, approvals


Custom command aliases
----------------------

Imagine that there are a couple of different sets of arguments that are commonly used
with a command. For example, in order to repeat that query above for 2 different users.
It is possible to define new commands that are aliases for existing commands. So to
take the above example and create commands 'russell-nova-changes' & 'daniel-nova-changes'
update the config file to contain

  [commands]
  aliases = russell-nova-changes, daniel-nova-changes

  [alias-russell-nova-changes]
  basecmd=changes
  help=Russell's open changes to nova

  [alias-daniel-nova-changes]
  basecmd=changes
  help=Daniel's open changes to nova

  [command-russell-nova-changes]
  project=openstack/nova
  status=open
  owner=russellb
  field = url, subject:50, lastUpdated, approvals

  [command-daniel-nova-changes]
  project=openstack/nova
  status=open
  owner=berrange
  field = url, subject:50, lastUpdated, approvals


Project groups
--------------

It is common to have multiple different projects defined in gerrit
which are all related to one team of people. There are also commonly
set teams of people working on projects and often automated robot
users to be filtered from some reports. It is possible to define
orgnaization teams and project groups in the configuration file,
and use those in place of project names with many commands.

For example, to define an organization with two projects, each with
a "core" teamm of members and some robot accounts

  [organization]
  teams = core
  groups = nova, neutron
  bots=jenkins, turbo-hipster


  [group-nova]
  projects = openstack/nova, openstack/python-novaclient
  team-core = danms, russellb, berrange

  [group-neutron]
  projects = openstack/neutron, openstack/python-neutronclient
  team-core = arosen, amotoki, danwent


Now these groups can be referenced in commands

  $ gerrymander changes -g nova --status open
   ------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------- ---------- ------------------------------
