Pushing a new branch

[James Englert]

Hi Guys,

Hopefully a egregious oversight on my part, but how do you push a new branch using the command line:

[jenglert gerrit_training (tmp)]$ git push gerrit HEAD:refs/for/tmp
Total 0 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0)
To ssh://gerrit_host/gerrit_training.git
 ! [remote rejected] HEAD -> refs/for/tmp (branch tmp not found)
error: failed to push some refs to 'ssh://gerrit_host/gerrit_training.git'

I can create branches through the ui.

Thanks,

I think that you cannot push to refs/for until the branch is
created. So, either create it through the WUI, or push the
starting point of the branch to refs/heads/tmp,

you try to push to the code review queue for a non-existing branch, 

instead try to push the base commit (the new branch should be based on)

directly (shortcutting code review) to the not-yet-existing branch:

$ git push gerrit <commit-id>:refs/heads/tmp

 

and you need appropriate permissions required to execute direct push

AFAIK for 2.1.x this is "Push Branch: +2 Create Branch"

and for 2.2.x  "Push" on the respective refs.

Looks like you didn't assign the Create Reference access right [1].
