jira:
  url: https://issues.apache.org/jira
  username: alice
gerrit:
  url: https://gerrit.googlesource.com # (optional, currently unused)
# optional section, you can specify persistent defaults for some flags
defaults:
  # beer will use 'trunk' for creating reviews instead of the default of 'main' 
  branch: trunk

Usage

All help is accessible by specifying the --help flag to any beer command/subcommand. beer --help will provide an overview of available commands.
