Query for authors in gerrit

[David]

Hi,

I wonder how you query for authors in gerrit? when I write queries I
only get owner and committer(uploader).

/D

Its not supported. There aren't any operators to search by author.

David, the only way I found so far is to go directly to the git repo for this. Using the SHA or ref from the patch-set you can lookup "author" in the git repo.

Either you have to ssh to Gerrit and fire the git cmd, or have a local replica of the git repos to work on.

Also note that "uploader" and "committer" is not the same. And the proof is: The "uploader" include the "username" parameter which is Gerrit specific.

So actually you get neither "author" nor "committer" when using "gerrit query". But you can get both from browsing the git repo.
