Authenticating with Gerrit is currently not supported. If you need this capability, please raise a feature request.
Sourcebot can sync code from self-hosted gerrit instances. If you’re not familiar with Sourcebot connections, please read that overview first.

Connecting to a Gerrit instance

To connect to a gerrit instance, provide the url property to your config:
{
    "type": "gerrit",
    "url": "https://gerrit.example.com"
    // .. rest of config ..
}

Examples

{
    "type": "gerrit",
    "url": "https://gerrit.example.com",
    // Sync all repos under project1 and project2/sub-project
    "projects": [
        "project1/**",
        "project2/sub-project/**"
    ]
}
{
    "type": "gerrit",
    "url": "https://gerrit.example.com",
    // Sync all repos under project1 and project2/sub-project...
    "projects": [
        "project1/**",
        "project2/sub-project/**"
    ],
    // ...except:
    "exclude": {
        // any project that matches these glob patterns
        "projects": [
            "project1/foo-project",
            "project2/sub-project/some-sub-folder/**"
        ],

        // projects that have state READ_ONLY
        "readOnly": true,

        // projects that have state HIDDEN
        "hidden": true
    }
}
