Gerrit web interface: add multiple reviewers

Question

Using the Gerrit web interface, is it possible to add multiple reviewers at once to a given commit? Currently, it appears that reviewers have to be added one by one: trying to add a list as input fails regardless of how it is separated.

Answer 1

No, it isn't possible to add multiple reviewers at once using Gerrit UI. You have to add one by one or use REST like in this example:

curl --request POST -d@- --header Content-Type:application/json https://GERRIT-SERVER/a/changes/CHANGE-NUMBER/reviewers << EOF
{
    "reviewer": "USERNAME1",
    "reviewer": "USERNAME2"
}
EOF

Yes, turns out this is how it is. Myself, I ended up using the Gerrit plugin for IntelliJ which has the feature I was looking for built in. – Engleman

Answer 2

Yes, You can not add multiple reviewers at once using Gerrit UI. You can create a Group under "People" -> "Crete New Group" and add the required list of members to be reviewers in that group.

Use the "Group Name" while adding reviewers
