Troubles editing All-Projects

[jiri...@gmail.com]

Hello,

I wanted to add automerger.config file to All-Projects but I'm confused what is going on here, see below. Can someone lead me how to achieve the goal please.

jura@brnntbjt01x:~/git$ git clone "ssh://gerrit:29418/All-Projects" && scp -p -P 29418 gerrit:hooks/commit-msg "All-Projects/.git/hooks/"

Cloning into 'All-Projects'...
remote: Counting objects: 96, done
remote: Finding sources: 100% (96/96)
remote: Total 96 (delta 4), reused 14 (delta 4)

Note: switching to 'bca45e5ab5c7af81837286d436c3b2450c463e70'.

You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental
changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this
state without impacting any branches by switching back to a branch.

If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
do so (now or later) by using -c with the switch command. Example:

  git switch -c <new-branch-name>

Or undo this operation with:

  git switch -

Turn off this advice by setting config variable advice.detachedHead to false

If you want to keep them by creating a new branch, this may be a good time
to do so with:

 git branch <new-branch-name> bca45e5

try this (refs/meta/config is not a branch but a custom ref, you need to specify on which branch the commits

of this ref should end up in your clone):

git fetch origin refs/meta/config:config

modify file

git add <modified files>

git. commit

git push origin HEAD:refs/meta/config

or if you want to review the changes:

git push origin HEAD:refs/for/refs/meta/config

here I missed

git checkout config

[Jonathan Nieder]

Matthias's description is good. The main other thing I'd add is that https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/Documentation/user-notify.html#project shows an example.

Arguably that example should be moved somewhere easier to find, such as a new page devoted specifically to refs/meta/config. Feel free to file a bug for this at https://crbug.com/gerrit/new if you agree.

Thanks,

Jonathan
