NAME

gerrit ls-projects - List projects visible to caller.

SYNOPSIS

ssh -p <port> <host> gerrit ls-projects
  [--show-branch <BRANCH> …​]
  [--description | -d]
  [--tree | -t]
  [--type {code | permissions | all}]
  [--format {text | json | json_compact}]
  [--all]
  [--limit <N>]
  [--prefix | -p <prefix>]
  [--has-acl-for GROUP]

DESCRIPTION

Displays the list of project names, one per line, that the calling user account has been granted 'READ' access to.

If the caller is a member of the privileged 'Administrators' group, all projects are listed.

ACCESS

Any user who has SSH access to Gerrit.

SCRIPTING

This command is intended to be used in scripts.

OPTIONS

--show-branch
-b

Branch for which the command will display the sha of each project. The command may have multiple --show-branch parameters, in this case sha will be shown for each of the branches. If the user does not have READ access to some branch or the branch does not exist then stub (40 - symbols) is shown. If the user does not have access to any branch in the project then the whole project is not shown.

--description
-d

Allows listing of projects together with their respective description.

For text format output, all non-printable characters (ASCII value 31 or less) are escaped according to the conventions used in languages like C, Python, and Perl, employing standard sequences like \n and \t, and \xNN for all others. In shell scripts, the printf command can be used to unescape the output.

--tree
-t

Displays project inheritance in a tree-like format. This option does not work together with the show-branch option.

Note
 If the calling user does not meet any of the following criteria:

  • The state of the parent project is either "ACTIVE" or "READ ONLY", and the calling user has READ permission to at least one ref.

  • The state of the parent project is "HIDDEN" and the calling user has READ permission for 'refs/meta/config'.

Then the 'parent' field will be labeled as '?-N', where N represents the nesting level within the project’s tree structure. In the provided example, 'All-Projects' corresponds to level 1, 'parent-project' to level 2, and 'child-project' to level 3.

The output format to display the results should be json or json_compact.

--type

Display only projects of the specified type. If not specified, defaults to all. Supported types:

code

Any project likely to contain user files.

permissions

Projects created with the --permissions-only flag.

all

Any type of project.

--format

What output format to display the results in.

text

Simple text based format.

json

Map of JSON objects describing each project.

json_compact

Minimized JSON output.

--all

Display all projects that are accessible by the calling user account. Besides the projects that the calling user account has been granted 'READ' access to, this includes all projects that are owned by the calling user account (even if for these projects the 'READ' access right is not assigned to the calling user account).

--limit

Cap the number of results to the first N matches.

--prefix

Limit the results to those projects that start with the specified prefix.

--has-acl-for

Display only projects on which access rights for this group are directly assigned. Projects which only inherit access rights for this group are not listed.

With this option you can find out on which projects a group is used.

HTTP

This command is also available over HTTP, as /projects/ for anonymous access and /a/projects/ for authenticated access. Named options are available as query parameters. Results can be limited to projects matching a prefix by supplying the prefix as part of the URL, for example /projects/external/ lists only projects whose name start with the string external/.

Over HTTP the json_compact output format is assumed if the client explicitly asks for JSON using HTTP header Accept: application/json. When any JSON output format is used on HTTP, readers must skip the first line produced. The first line is a garbage JSON string crafted to prevent a browser from executing the response in a script tag.

Output will be gzip compressed if Accept-Encoding: gzip was used by the client in the request headers.

EXAMPLES

List visible projects:

$ ssh -p 29418 review.example.com gerrit ls-projects
platform/manifest
tools/gerrit
tools/gitiles

$ curl http://review.example.com/projects/
platform/manifest
tools/gerrit
tools/gitiles

$ curl http://review.example.com/projects/tools/
tools/gerrit
tools/gitiles

Clone any project visible to the user:

for p in `ssh -p 29418 review.example.com gerrit ls-projects`
do
  mkdir -p `dirname "$p"`
  git clone --bare "ssh://review.example.com:29418/$p.git" "$p.git"
done
