Push all GIT branches to Gerrit
Emmanuel Grumbach
recently I had to push a whole Android project to Gerrit. I downloaded it with repo but not from Gerrit and wanted to push it to Gerrit including all the branches. The main issue was that I repo would create only one GIT branch in each repository, the branch that matches the manifest.
Finally I wrote this script:
#!/bin/bash -f
username=MYNAME
gerrit_srv=MY_SERVER_NAME
#foreach remote branch, create a local branch with the same name that tracks it
createLocalBranch() {
local BRANCHES=$*
for B in ${BRANCHES}; do
git branch `echo $B | cut -d"/" -f2` --track $B
done
}
pushAllBranchesToGerrit() {
#get the list of remote branches without the spaces at the beginning
local BRANCHES=`git branch -r | cut -d" " -f3`
createLocalBranch ${BRANCHES}
# push all the changes to Gerrit server
git push --all ssh://${username}@${gerrit_srv}:29418/${REPO_PROJECT}
}
pushAllBranchesToGerrit

Then from the TOP dir of Android:
repo forall -c 'FuzzyScript.sh'
I rely here on the fact that repo forall brings me to the dir of each project.
Finally I had all my branches in Gerrit.
I am sending this first to have comment if I did something wrong, or superfluous. Second to help people that might want to do something similar.

Well, you could have done this a few different ways, but yes,
this isn't something done without additional script support.
One alternative, you could have used a repo mirror client:
repo init ... --mirror
repo sync
repo forall -c git push --all 'ssh://username@srv:29418/${REPO_PROJECT}'
as the local refs/heads namespace would match the upstream project.
You could also have done this without creating local tracking
branches. In a non-mirror client:
repo forall -c '
git push --all ssh://username@srv:29418/$REPO_PROJECT \
$(git for-each-ref \
--format='%(refname):%(refname)' \
refs/remotes/$REPO_REMOTE |
sed s,:refs/remotes/$REPO_REMOTE/,:refs/heads/,)
'

In FuzzyScript, I changed the first cut line:
git branch `echo $B | cut -d"/" -f2` --track $B
to this:
git branch `echo $B | sed s:origin/::` --track $B
because I had some branches with two slashes and cut didn't parse
those correctly.
