Gerrit Code Review is a robust tool designed for developers seeking an effective solution for reviewing source code. It allows users to read both old and new file versions with syntax highlighting and colored differences, facilitating discussions on specific code sections. The platform features Git-enabled SSH and HTTPS servers that are compatible with all Git clients, making it easy to manage multiple repositories from one location. Additionally, it supports scheduling of garbage collection across repositories and offers options for geographical mirroring to improve latency and backup redundancy.

The application is subscription-based and suitable for various organization types, including small and mid-sized businesses, enterprises, and non-profits. It supports integration with numerous applications and services such as Apache Subversion and Google App Engine, enhancing its functionality. Users can also extend the platform's capabilities through server-side plugins, with source code for additional plugins available via project listings, ensuring that Gerrit Code Review can be tailored to meet specific needs.
