Chromacs - Repo, Gerrit, & Emacs

Chromacs is an Emacs extension for the integration of workflows with the Repo tool & Gerrit into Emacs. This project is WIP and is currently focused on delivering better Emacs-Gerrit integration.

Installation

Requirements:

libcurl
request.el
magit

Clone ChromiumOS dev-util codebase:

git clone https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/platform/dev-util

Add the following to your init.el script.

(add-to-list 'load-path
  "{ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO_DIR_WITH_CLONE}/dev/contrib/emacs/gerrit/")

(use-package gerrit :ensure nil)
(use-package gerrit-section :ensure nil)
(use-package repo-transient: ensure nil)

(setq gerrit-repo-root
  "{ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO_REPO_ROOT}")

;; These could be any number of different hosts.
(setq gerrit-hosts
  '( "chrome-internal-review.googlesource.com"
  "chromium-review.googlesource.com"))

Usage

Invoking the gerrit-comments command will fetch comments and show a buffer wiith changes that contain comments on recent CLs. The buffer is similar to any magit style buffer, with the same navigation key bindings, see magit-section.

Every highlighted filepath is also a button that navigates you to the location under comment.

The comments can be refreshed at any point by invoking gerrit-comments again.

Note: This is still an experimental feature. In particular, repo start is not fully working yet.

Invoke the repo-main-menu command.

Enter the main menu.
