Gerrit branch access modification through command line

Question

I would like to change the access rule for the deactivated branches on gerrit from "ALLOW" to "DENY".. do we have any command line options available for it ?

Answer 1

You can edit access rights through the Git protocol using the refs/meta/config pseudo-branch. See the docs.

You checkout that branch, modify the project.config and push back to the Gerrit server. That's how you can automate this.
