# 2.5.13.6. Gerrit

class buildbot.steps.source.gerrit.Gerrit

`Gerrit` step is exactly like the `Git` step, except that it integrates with `GerritChangeSource`, and will automatically checkout the additional changes.

Gerrit integration can be also triggered using forced build with property named `gerrit_change` with values in format `change_number/patchset_number`. This property will be translated into a branch name. This feature allows integrators to build with several pending interdependent changes, which at the moment cannot be described properly in Gerrit, and can only be described by humans.
