@ -7,6 +7,16 @@ A git command for fixing nit-picky changes on gerrit reviews.
git-nit is a tool that helps grabbing existing reviews on gerrit and
layering on a new patch to fix nits.
Normally review comments are left on the patch in the web UI or via
gertty. For really small suggestions, however, it is nicer to just
propose the update either as a new revision of a patch or as a
follow-up patch. git-nit helps you do that by making it easier to grab
the patch being reviewed in a local copy of the repository. It
automates the steps of cloning the repository to a new directory,
configuring git-review, then downloading the patch in
question. Running one command will set you up to help the person whose
code you are reviewing.
