How to initiate Project in Gerrit

[Zohaib Shaikh]

Hi

I am new to gerrit. I have created a project via Web UI 

Name: newproject (with default master branch)

Now i have code in my local directory, That's not part of any git or gerrit. Now i want to this this local code to that newproject. I did following

cd mycode
git add .

git commit "my first commit"
git remote add origin ssh://myn...@gerrit.mydomain.com:29418/myproject
git push origin HEAD:refs/for/master

I gives me error "No common ancestor" 

newproject is fresh created project on gerrit. And mu local code not part of any git or gerrit, its first time i am pushing my code to gerrit. how to resolve this error?

I guess you created the new project in gerrit with an initial empty commit.

If that's the case your local commit is not a successor of this initial commit.

You can fix that in the following way:

• first fetch this initial commit from gerrit
• rebase your local commit onto origin/master
• then try to push again

git fetch origin

git rebase origin/master

git push origin HEAD:refs/for/master
