## What it is
Gerrit is a self-hosted web-based code review and project management tool for Git-based projects, featuring side-by-side diffs, inline comments, and fine-grained access control. It allows authorized users to submit changes directly to the master Git repository without manual merging by maintainers.

## Use cases
- review git changes with side-by-side diffs and inline comments
- self-host a code review server for a git project
- let authorized contributors push directly to the main repository
- manage git project permissions and access control
- run a pre-merge review workflow for large open-source projects

## When to choose
- you need rigorous pre-merge code review for Git repositories
- you want fine-grained per-branch permissions and submit rules
- you maintain a large project with many external contributors
- you prefer self-hosting over GitHub/GitLab pull requests

## When to avoid
- you want a lightweight review flow integrated with GitHub or GitLab
- your team is small and informal review over pull requests suffices
- you cannot operate a JVM-based server with its own database

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: stable
- function: code-review, version-control, http-server, auth, authorization, developer-tools
- domain: version-control, developer-tools, web-development
- platform: self-hosted, jvm
- tags: git, code-review, self-hosted, java, project-management, linux, docker, web-server
