  • gerrit项目重命名有两个办法：1.使用插件 2.手动重命名，并刷新gerrit缓存
    1.gerrit有个插件支持重命名项目
    https://gerrit.googlesource.com/plugins/rename-project/
    2.命令行方式

    1. Move the repository folder on server:
# on gerrit server
$ cd $site_path/git;
$ mv old_name.git new_name.git
  1. Flush the caches on server:
# On another client image:
$ ssh -p 29418 Admin@gerrit_ip gerrit flush-caches
  1. Run sql statement to update the changes: 新版本默认开启notedb，不需要执行下面的命令
# On another client image (need "Access Database" capability):
$ ssh -p 29418 gerrit.server.com gerrit gsql [Enter]
gerrit> USE {Database};
gerrit> SELECT * FROM changes WHERE dest_project_name = 'old_name';
# if have more than 1, run the following command to update, otherwise, quit with \q;
gerrit> UPDATE changes SET dest_project_name = 'new_name' WHERE
dest_project_name = 'old_name';
gerrit> \q
