Pushing Code with git review


The hicn-stack repository is available from gerrit:

It is possible to submit a patch with the following steps:

  • 1 open an issue on fd.io Jira and take the issue number unless the issue already exists.
  • 2 create a new branch with the command
    git checkout -b <jira issue number>
  • 3 add to the modified files to the patch with
    git add -u
    if there are not new files, or
    git add <list new files>
    if there are new files
  • 4 commit the patch with
    git commit -s
    and put a comment with the issue number taken from fd.io Jira
  • 5 push the patch on gerrit for the review with
    git review
  • 6 add a reviewer on gerrit code review page.

If a modification of non merged patch is needed, it is possible to resubmit the patch with:

  • 1 add to the modified files to the patch with
    git add -u
  • 2 modify the commit of the new patch with
    git commit -s --amend
  • 3 push the patch on gerrit for the review with
