Description
Thank you for this wonderful tool!
I have a GitHub PR to Gerrit CR workflow, and am wondering about general advice to improve on this.
Workflow is simple, looks something like the below.
Issues:
- Each time the PR is updated, this results in a new Change-ID and thus new Gerrit CR. Is there a way to have this update the existing CR rather than create a new one? Basically, to have the change-id be stable per PR number.
- For the `reviewers`, how do you use `GITHUB_PR_REVIEWER_APPROVER`? I guess - is there any documentation available on how to use labels, repeated labels, etc. that the API reference mentions?
- If user submits PR, copybara runs, and then user sets a reviewer—is there a way to also set the reviewer in Gerrit?
- Any other suggested improvements or typical things you'd do in this setup?
Thank you!
