Need help in pushing new branches to gerrit

[hari]

Hi,

Say I have a repo configured in gerrit with a master branch. Now I
clone this repo to have my own local master branch and I do code
changes on this master branch and pushing this branch to gerrit works
perfectly fine. But if I do a "git chekcout -b new_branch" and work on
my new branch and when trying to push this branch to gerrit, am
getting this error:

! [remote rejected] HEAD -> refs/for/hari_spec-live (branch hari_spec-
live not found)


So my requirement is to be able to push whatever branch I create in my
local clone to gerrit. Please let me know how to accomplish this.


Thanks,
Hariharan.B

The branch doesn't yet exist on Gerrit. To prevent typos, Gerrit
requires that the branch exist when you upload a change to it for
review. You'll need to create the branch hari_spec-live through the
Admin > Projects > Branches tab in the web UI before you can push to
it and create changes.

Thanks Shawn .. do we have any gerrit commands to do this from
backend, that would be lot easier for the developers to create a
branch whenever needed, rather than logging on to gerrit everytime..

If the user has Push Branch +2 permission, they can first create the
branch by pushing a commit to it, then pushing the review commit. For
example:

$ git push origin origin/master:refs/heads/hari_spec-live
$ git push origin HEAD:refs/for/hari_spec-live

Thanks once again Shawn, I will try this option... btw earlier when I
was using older versions of gerrit 2.1.2 and when pushing to gerrit
from the backend I used to get the code-review link in my push ouput.
But looks like am not getting that when pushed from 2.1.3. Is this
feature removed in this version or is there something I need to setup ?

Is it possible that gerrit.canonicalWebUrl isn't set in your
gerrit.config? Over SSH we don' t know how to contact the server via
HTTP, so the only way the outgoing emails can contain the URL is if
its been configured by the administrator.
