-A Mercurial extension helps manage the code review process.
-The extension is included in the Go source tree but needs
-to be added to your Mercurial configuration.
+A custom git command called <code>git-review</code>,
+discussed below, helps manage the code review process through a Google-hosted
+<a href="https://go-review.googlesource.com/">instance</a> of the code review
+system called <a href="https://code.google.com/p/gerrit/">Gerrit</a>.
 </p>
 
-<h3>Caveat for Mercurial aficionados</h3>
+<h3>Set up authentication for code review</h3>
+
+<p>
+The Git code hosting server and Gerrit code review server both use a Google
+Account to authenticate. You therefore need a Google Account to proceed.
+(If you can use the account to
+<a href="https://www.google.com/accounts/Login">sign in at google.com</a>,
+you can use it to sign in to the code review server.)
+The email address you use with the code review system
+will be recorded in the <a href="https://go.googlesource.com/go">change log</a>
+and in the <a href="/CONTRIBUTORS"><code>CONTRIBUTORS</code></a> file.
+You can <a href="https://www.google.com/accounts/NewAccount">create a Google Account</a>
+associated with any address where you receive email.
+</p>
 
 <p>
-<i>Using Mercurial with the code review extension is not the same
-as using standard Mercurial.</i>
+Visit the site <a href="https://go.googlesource.com">go.googlesource.com</a>
+and log in using your Google Account.
+Click on the "Generate Password" link that appears at the top of the page.
 </p>
 
 <p>
-The Go repository is maintained as a single line of reviewed changes;
-we prefer to avoid the complexity of Mercurial's arbitrary change graph.
-The code review extension helps here: its <code>hg submit</code> command
-automatically checks for and warns about the local repository
-being out of date compared to the remote one.
-The <code>hg submit</code> command also verifies other
-properties about the Go repository.
-For example,
-it checks that Go code being checked in is formatted in the standard style,
-as defined by <a href="/cmd/gofmt">gofmt</a>,
-and it checks that the author of the code is properly recorded for
-<a href="#copyright">copyright purposes</a>.
+Click the radio button that says "Only <code>go.googlesource.com</code>"
+to use this authentication token only for the Go project.
 </p>
 
 <p>
-To help ensure changes are only created by <code>hg submit</code>,
-the code review extension disables the standard <code>hg commit</code>
-command.
+Further down the page is a box containing commands to install
+the authentication cookie in file called <code>.gitcookies</code> in your home
+directory.
+Copy the text for the commands into a Unix shell window to execute it.
+That will install the authentication token.
 </p>
 
-<h3>Configure the extension</h3>
+<p>
+(If you are on a Windows computer, you should instead follow the instructions
+in the yellow box to run the command.)
+</p>
 
-<p>Edit <code>.hg/hgrc</code> in the root of your Go checkout to add:</p>
+<h3>Register with Gerrit</h3>
 
-<pre>
-[extensions]
-codereview = /path/to/go/lib/codereview/codereview.py
+<p>
+Now that you have a Google account and the authentication token,
+you need to register your account with Gerrit, the code review system.
+To do this, visit <a href="https://golang.org/cl">golang.org/cl</a>
+and log in using the same Google Account you used above.
+That is all that is required.
+</p>
+
+<h3>Install the git-review command</h3>
+
+<p>
+Now install the <code>git-review</code> command by running,

-[ui]
-username = Your Name &lt;you@server.dom&gt;
+<pre>
+go get -u golang.org/x/review/git-review
 </pre>
 
 <p>
-The <code>username</code> information will not be used unless
-you are a committer (see below), but Mercurial complains if it is missing.
+Make sure <code>git-review</code> is installed in your shell path, so that the
+<code>git</code> command can find it. Check that
 </p>

+$ git review help

 <p>
-As the codereview extension is only enabled for your Go checkout, the remainder of this document assumes you
-are inside the go directory when issuing commands.
+prints help text, not an error.
 </p>
 
-<p>To contribute to subrepositories, edit the <code>.hg/hgrc</code> for each
-subrepository in the same way. For example, add the codereview extension to
-<code>golang.org/x/tools/.hg/hgrc</code>.
+<p>
+Note to Git aficionados: The <code>git-review</code> command is not required to
+upload and manage Gerrit code reviews. For those who prefer plain Git, the text
+below gives the Git equivalent of each git-review command. If you do use plain
+Git, note that you still need the commit hooks that the git-review command
+configures; those hooks add a Gerrit <code>Change-Id</code> line to the commit
+message and check that all Go source files have been formatted with gofmt. Even
+if you intend to use plain Git for daily work, install the hooks in a new Git
+checkout by running <code>git-review</code> <code>hooks</code>).
 </p>
 
-<h3>Understanding the extension</h3>
+<h3>Set up git aliases</h3>
 
-<p>After adding the code review extension, you can run</p>
+<p>
+The <code>git-review</code> command can be run directly from the shell
+by typing, for instance,
+</p>
 
 <pre>
-$ hg help codereview
+$ git review sync
 </pre>
 
-<p>to learn more about its commands. To learn about a specific code-review-specific
-command such as <code>change</code>, run</p>
+<p>
+but it is more convenient to set up aliases for <code>git-review</code>'s own
+subcommands, so that the above becomes,
+</p>
 
 <pre>
-$ hg help change
+$ git sync
 </pre>
 
-<p>
-Windows users may need to perform extra steps to get the code review
-extension working. See the
-<a href="https://code.google.com/p/go-wiki/wiki/CodeReview">CodeReview page</a>
-on the <a href="https://code.google.com/p/go-wiki/wiki">Go Wiki</a> for details.
 </p>
-
-<h3>Log in to the code review site.</h3>
+The <code>git-review</code> subcommands have been chosen to be distinct from
+Git's own, so it's safe to do so.
+</p>
 
 <p>
-The code review server uses a Google Account to authenticate.
-(If you can use the account to
-<a href="https://www.google.com/accounts/Login?hl=en&amp;continue=http://www.google.com/">sign in at google.com</a>,
-you can use it to sign in to the code review server.)
-The email address you use on the Code Review site
-will be recorded in the <a href="https://code.google.com/p/go/source/list">Mercurial change log</a>
-and in the <a href="/CONTRIBUTORS"><code>CONTRIBUTORS</code></a> file.
-You can <a href="https://www.google.com/accounts/NewAccount">create a Google Account</a>
-associated with any address where you receive email.
-If you've enabled the two-step verification feature, don't forget to generate an
-application-specific password and use that when prompted for a password.
+The aliases are optional, but in the rest of this document we will assume
+they are installed.
+To install them, copy this text into your Git configuration file
+(usually <code>.gitconfig</code> in your home directory):
 </p>
 
 <pre>
-$ hg code-login
-Email (login for uploading to codereview.appspot.com): rsc@golang.org

+	gofmt = review gofmt
+	mail = review mail
+	pending = review pending
+	sync = review sync
 </pre>
 
-<h3>Configure your account settings.</h3>
+<h3>Understanding the git-review command</h3>
 
-<p>Edit your <a href="https://codereview.appspot.com/settings">code review settings</a>.
-Grab a nickname.
-Many people prefer to set the Context option to
-&ldquo;Whole file&rdquo; to see more context when reviewing changes.
-</p>
+<p>After installing the <code>git-review</code> command, you can run</p>
+
+<pre>
+$ git review help
+</pre>
 
-<p>Once you have chosen a nickname in the settings page, others
-can use that nickname as a shorthand for naming reviewers and the CC list.
-For example, <code>rsc</code> is an alias for <code>rsc@golang.org</code>.
+<p>
+to learn more about its commands.
+You can also read the <a href="https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/review/git-review">command documentation</a>.
 </p>
 
-<h3>Switch to the default branch</h3>
+<h3>Switch to the master branch</h3>
 
 <p>
 Most Go installations use a release branch, but new changes should
-only be made to the default branch. (They may be applied later to a release
-branch as part of the release process.)
-Before making a change, make sure you use the default branch:
+only be made based on the master branch.
+(They may be applied later to a release branch as part of the release process,
+but most contributors won't do this themselves.)
+Before making a change, make sure you start on the master branch:
 </p>
 
 <pre>
-$ hg update default
+$ git checkout master
+$ git sync
 </pre>
 
+<p>
+(In Git terms, <code>git</code> <code>sync</code> runs
+<code>git</code> <code>pull</code> <code>-r</code>.)
+</p>
+
 <h3>Make a change</h3>
 
 <p>
 The entire checked-out tree is writable.
-If you need to edit files, just edit them: Mercurial will figure out which ones changed.
-You do need to inform Mercurial of added, removed, copied, or renamed files,
-by running
-<code>hg add</code>,
-<code>hg rm</code>,
-<code>hg cp</code>,
-or
-<code>hg mv</code>.
+Once you have edited files, you must tell Git that they have been modified.
+You must also tell Git about any files that are added, removed, or renamed files.
+These operations are done with the usual Git commands,
+<code>git</code> <code>add</code>,
+<code>git</code> <code>rm</code>,
+and
+<code>git</code> <code>mv</code>.

+Running <code>git</code> <code>mail</code> will send an email to you and the
+reviewers asking them to visit the issue's URL and make comments on the change.
+When done, the reviewer adds comments through the Gerrit user interface
+and clicks "Reply" to send comments back.
+You will receive a mail notification when this happens.
+You must reply through the web interface.
+(Unlike with the old Rietveld review system, replying by mail has no effect.)
 </p>
 
+<h3>Revise and upload</h3>
+
 <p>
-The reviewer can comment on the new copy, and the process repeats.
-The reviewer approves the change by replying with a mail that says
-<code>LGTM</code>: looks good to me.
+You must respond to review comments through the web interface.
+(Unlike with the old Rietveld review system, responding by mail has no effect.)
 </p>
 
 <p>
-You can see a list of your pending changes by running <code>hg pending</code> (<code>hg p</code> for short).
+When you have revised the code and are ready for another round of review,
+stage those changes and use <code>git</code> <code>change</code> to update the
+commit.
+To send the update change list for another round of review,
+run <code>git</code> <code>mail</code> again.

 <h3>Reviewing code by others</h3>
 
 <p>
-You can import a CL proposed by someone else into your local Mercurial client
-by using the <code>hg clpatch</code> command. Running
-</p>
-
-<pre>
-$ hg clpatch 99999
-</pre>
-
-<p>
-will apply the latest diff for CL 99999 to your working copy. If any of the
-files referenced in CL 99999 have local modifications, <code>clpatch</code>
-will refuse to apply the whole diff. Once applied, CL 99999 will show up in
-the output of <code>hg pending</code> and others.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-To revert a CL you have applied locally, use the <code>hg revert</code>
-command. Running
+You can import a change proposed by someone else into your local Git repository.
+On the Gerrit review page, click the "Download ▼" link in the upper right
+corner, copy the "Checkout" command and run it from your local Git repo.
+It should look something like this:
 </p>
 
 <pre>
-$ hg revert @99999
+$ git fetch https://go.googlesource.com/review refs/changes/21/1221/1 && git checkout FETCH_HEAD
 </pre>
 
 <p>
-will revert any files mentioned on CL 99999 to their original state. This can
-be an effective way of reverting one CL revision and applying another.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-Once the CL has been submitted, the next time you run <code>hg sync</code>
-it will be removed from your local pending list. Occasionally the pending list
-can get out of sync leaving stale references to closed or abandoned CLs.
-You can use <code>hg change -D 99999</code> to remove the reference to CL 99999.
+To revert, change back to the branch you were working in.
 </p>
 
 <h3>Submit the change after the review</h3>
 
 <p>
-After the code has been <code>LGTM</code>'ed, it is time to submit
-it to the Mercurial repository.
+After the code has been <code>LGTM</code>'ed, an approver may
+submit it to the master branch using the Gerrit UI.
+There is a "Submit" button on the web page for the change
+that appears once the change is approved (marked +2).
 </p>
 
-<p>
-If you are not a committer, you cannot submit the change directly.
-Instead a committer, usually the reviewer who said <code>LGTM</code>,
-will run:
-</p>
-
-<pre>
-$ hg clpatch 99999
-$ hg submit 99999
-</pre>
-
-<p>
-The <code>submit</code> command submits the code.  You will be listed as the
-author, but the change message will also indicate who the committer was.
-Your local client will notice that the change has been submitted
-when you next run <code>hg sync</code>.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-If you are a committer, you can run:
-</p>
-
-<pre>
-$ hg submit 99999
-</pre>
-
 <p>
 This checks the change into the repository.
 The change description will include a link to the code review,
 and the code review will be updated with a link to the change
 in the repository.
+Since the method used to integrate the changes is "Cherry Pick",
+the commit hashes in the repository will be changed by
+the submit operation.
 </p>
 
-<p>
-If your local copy of the repository is out of date,
-<code>hg submit</code> will refuse the change:
-</p>
-
-<pre>
-$ hg submit 99999
-local repository out of date; must sync before submit
-</pre>
