Often, when creating a new gerrit project a gerrit admin needs to create a new project owner group and setup an initial set of group members. This was only possible from gerrit's Web UI and was a realtively slow process compared to the easiness of creating the project using the create-project ssh command. This command makes it possible to create a new group, assign group members, owner group and description via ssh.

gerrit create-group
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
NAME
|
|
----
|
|
gerrit create-group - Create a new account group.
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
[verse]
|
|
'ssh' -p <port> <host> 'gerrit create-group' \
|
|
[\--owner <GROUP>] \
|
|
[\--description <DESC>] \
|
|
[\--member <USERNAME>] \
|
|
<GROUP>
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
Creates a new account group. The group creating user (the user that
|
|
fired the create-group command) is not automatically added to
|
|
the created group. In case the creating user wants to be a member of
|
|
the group he/she must list itself in the --member option. This is
|
|
slightly different from Gerrit's Web UI where the creating user automatically
|
|
becomes a member of the newly created group.
|
|
|
|
ACCESS
|
|
------
|
|
Caller must be a member of the privileged 'Administrators' group.
|
|
|
|
SCRIPTING
|
|
---------
|
|
This command is intended to be used in scripts.
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
<GROUP>::
|
|
Required; name of the new group.
|
|
|
|
\--owner, -o::
|
|
Name of the owning group. If not specified the group will be self-owning.
|
|
|
|
\--description, -d::
|
|
Description of group.
|
|
+
|
|
Description values containing spaces should be quoted in single quotes
|
|
(\'). This most likely requires double quoting the value, for example
|
|
`\--description "\'A description string\'"`.
|
|
|
|
\--member::
|
|
User name to become initial member of the group. Multiple \--member
|
|
options may be specified to add more initial members.
|
|
|
|
EXAMPLES
|
|
--------
|
|
Create a new account group called `gerritdev` with two initial members
|
|
`developer1` and `developer2`. The group should be owned by itself:
|
|
|
|
====
|
|
$ ssh -p 29418 user@review.example.com gerrit create-group --member developer1 --member developer2 gerritdev
|
|
====
|
|
|
|
Create a new account group called `Foo` owned by the `Foo-admin` group.
|
|
Put `developer1` as the initial member and include group description:
|
|
|
|
====
|
|
$ ssh -p 29418 user@review.example.com gerrit create-group --owner Foo-admin --member developer1 --description "'Foo description'" Foo
|
|
====
|
|
|
|
Note that it is necessary to quote the description twice. The local
|
|
shell needs double quotes around the value to ensure the single quotes
|
|
are passed through SSH as-is to the remote Gerrit server, which uses
|
|
the single quotes to delimit the value.
