Gertty is a console-based interface to the Gerrit Code Review system. As compared to the web interface, the main advantages are:

Workflow – the interface is designed to support a workflow similar to reading network news or mail. In particular, it is designed to deal with a large number of review requests across a large number of projects.

Offline Use – Gertty syncs information about changes in subscribed projects to a local database and local git repos. All review operations are performed against that database and then synced back to Gerrit.

Speed – user actions modify locally cached content and need not wait for server interaction.

Convenience – because Gertty downloads all changes to local git repos, a single command instructs it to checkout a change into that repo for detailed examination or testing of larger changes.

To fix this problem, we can install more using the command below.

sudo apt-get -y install gertty

This command might take some time to finish depending on your machine internet connection.
