# Gerrit
## Supported Gerrit versions
Renovate supports all Gerrit 3.x versions.
Support for Gerrit is currently _experimental_, meaning that it _might_ still have some undiscovered bugs or design limitations, and that we _might_ need to change functionality in a non-backwards compatible manner in a non-major release.
Renovate stores its metadata in the _commit message footer_.
## Authentication
<figure markdown>
![Gerrit HTTP access token](../../../assets/images/gerrit-http-password.png){ loading=lazy }
<figcaption>First, create a HTTP access token for the Renovate account.</figcaption>
</figure>
Let Renovate use your HTTP access token by doing _one_ of the following:
- Set your HTTP access token as a `password` in your `config.js` file, or
- Set your HTTP access token as an environment variable `RENOVATE_PASSWORD`, or
- Set your HTTP access token when you run Renovate in the CLI with `--password=`
The Gerrit user account must be allowed to assign the Code-Review label with "+2" to their own changes for "automerge" to work.
You must set `platform=gerrit` in your Renovate config file.
## Renovate PR/Branch-Model with Gerrit and needed permissions
If you use the "Code-Review" label and want to get `automerge` working then you must set `autoApprove=true` in your Renovate config.
Renovate will now add the _Code-Review_ label with the value "+2" to each of its "pull requests" (Gerrit-Change).
<!-- prettier-ignore -->
!!! note
The bot's user account must have permission to give +2 for the Code-Review label.
The Renovate option `automergeType: "branch"` makes no sense for Gerrit, because there are no branches used to create pull requests.
It works similar to the default option `"pr"`.
## Optional features
You can use the `statusCheckNames` configuration to map any of the available branch checks (like `minimumReleaseAge`, `mergeConfidence`, and so on) to a Gerrit label.
For example, if you want to use the [Merge Confidence](../../../merge-confidence.md) feature and map the result of the Merge Confidence check to your Gerrit label "Renovate-Merge-Confidence" you can configure:
```json
{
"statusCheckNames": {
"mergeConfidence": "Renovate-Merge-Confidence"
}
}
```
## Unsupported platform features/concepts
- Creating issues (not a Gerrit concept)
- Dependency Dashboard (needs issues first)
