How to create a new Patchset in Gerrit?

Question

I am new to Gerrit and want to create a new Patch when new changes are submitted. I setup Gerrit with this guide https://review.typo3.org/Documentation/install-quick.html

Answer 1

Step 1: Install commit-msg hooks for gerrit

scp -p -P 29418 localhost:hooks/commit-msg .git/hooks/

Step 2: Create normal commit and push (for Patchset1)

for example:

git add Server.java
git commit -m "server added"
git push origin HEAD:refs/for/master

Step 3: After doing some changes to Server.java

Finally to create new Patchset (Patchset 2)

git add Server.java
git commit --amend
git push origin HEAD:refs/for/master

Repeat step 3 for further Patches

Answer 2

Don't add the Change-Id on your own. Install the commit-msg hook as described here. This will automatically create the Change-Id for you.

If you want to improve a patch by uploading a new patch-set, use git-commit --amend and keep the Change-Id line as it is.

You can see a description of the workflow here: http://wiki.typo3.org/Contribution_Walkthrough_with_CommandLine

Answer 3

Even if you add Change id manually it should be last paragraph of your commit message.
And the syntax should be :

change ID : [change ID ]
