This extension provides a view of your Gerrit server.
When parts of the tree are updated they are displayed larger and brighter. Clicking items will reset them.
By default, the view is automatically refreshed every minute.
The extension assumes that Jenkins is being used for continuous integration.
Note: This was developed for use in my work place. If you find things don't work as expected, please raise an issue here and I'll try to help.
TODO: Provide access to the tree structure configuration.
Some elements of the tree have icons. A green tick indicates a passed build with a red cross indicating a failure. If the build is in progress, a timer indicator is shown.
Scores are shown with a green background for positive (+1, +2) and a red background for negative (-1, -2).
The view title bar contains the following buttons:
clears all changed items
show only changed items
show all items
filter the view based on the contents of one of the fields
clear the current filter
refresh the view
collapse the view
Change set nodes in the tree also have a context menu which allows the change set to be opened in a browser.

The Server field should be filled with just the dns name of the server (and not with http or ssh)
e.g:
If your server URL is https://gerrit.server.com, just enter gerrit.server.com in this field
The Port should have a value of the port at which the Gerrit server is listening to.
This can be got from the SSH clone command in any of the repos in Gerrit
e.g: if the clone command is
git clone "ssh://user@gerrit.server.com:8282/REPOSITORY/NAME"
Here 8282 is the port. This should be entered in the Port field in settings
The Path To Ssh Key should have the private key (generally the id_rsa file in the ~/.ssh/ path) file in the machine to which you have connected to. Make sure the corresponding public key is added in the Gerrit server (else you will get authentication error)
The source code is available on GitHub here.
The default query is status:open which will return open change sets from all projects and branches. To modify the query, use the Gerrit View: Set Query command.
