Gerrit Push - Reference

Often times the initial patch submitted may have to be amended (e.g to fix build issues and/or address review comments). Follow these steps to amend the patch.

1. Do you already have a local copy of the code that needs to be amended?

   1. Yes:

      1. Does your local copy of the code match what is in the Gerrit patch to be amended?

         1. Yes:

            1. You do not need to do anything special to make additional edits to the code.

         2.  No:

            1. Backup any modified files you would like to retain, as the next step will delete any such modifications.

            2. Reset your local copy to what is in the patch:

               • git reset --hard origin/master

   2. No:

      1. Start with a new clone of the code:

         • For example - git clone https://gerrit.onap.org/r/dcaegen2/services

2. Checkout the patch you want to edit/amend

   1. You can get this exact URL by clicking the 3 vertical dot buttons on upper right corner of the browser window showing the gerrit push, click “Download Patch”, then copy the "Checkout" string.

   •  

     • For example - git fetch https://gerrit.onap.org/r/dcaegen2/services refs/changes/73/130673/1 && git checkout FETCH_HEAD

3. Make the required edits

4. Add the updated files and Commit with the --amend option (instead of starting a new commit):

   1. git add <files edited>

   2. git commit -as --amend 

5. Push the patch for review

   1. git review
