have any of my followers used GerritHub, or know someone who has? is it free? does it work well for the "i have an existing GitHub project but want to use Gerrit for code review" use-case? i'm wondering about using it for touchHLE

i took the plunge and uh, the integration with GitHub has some rough edges but it is a free service and it does work for me

update: i got frustrated at the permissions model and started to wonder if it doesn't actually do anything, so i Deliberately did the Gerrit equivalent of chown nobody:nobody /touchHLE while not having root and… ah fuck

thankfully i was able to email someone who has sudo, in this analogy. haha

so GerritHub provides, like, literally just Gerrit, with all that entails. it incredibly customisable. actually maybe too customisable: you can permanently lock yourself out of your own account. with that said, it's so powerful i can't believe this is available for free.

quick notes:

• it imports existing branches from GitHub and continuously syncs new commits back to GitHub
• it can import existing pull requests without squashing them!
• you have full control over the repo's config: merge strategy, access controls, custom labels, the works

shout out to GerritForge (operators of GerritHub) who were very helpful to me despite me not being a paying customer

oh my god my life is so much easier now. Gerrit is so much better suited to my touchHLE review workflow than GitHub is. i no longer have to do everything manually. i no longer want to procrastinate on doing code review. this is going to speed up touchHLE development immensely

@hikari Gerrit is really good. We use it at work.
