Hi All,

Could anyone have a script for this, or any other idea.

Hi,

You should try to  explain what  you want ot achieve in a bit more words, as the question does not make any sense as is.

Thanks Jorn, We have created feature branch which is pulled from master branch on need basis. And the every changes made in feature branch needs to automatic get into master branch. To achieve this I figured it out a way happen to cherry-pick. For this automatic cherry-pick , Do you a script i.e., when the change is merged to feature branch automatically it should get into master branch. Thanks.

I don't understand why you use a feature branch if you want to unconditionally auto-cherry-pick all

commits from the feature branch to the master branch.

Why don't you directly work with the master branch ?

This is more  or less 'normal' behaviour in gerrit if used in the typical way.

You need to differentiate between local (working) feature branches, those are fine and long-lived feature branches in gerrit (the master repo).

For your use-case, local feature branches should push to refs/for/master and maybe you want cherry-pick  submit strategy set  as well.

Check e.g. Gerrit - Concepts and Workflows [1] for further details on how a good gerrit workflow looks like. It is different from a  github (pull-request based) workflow.

We do this auto-cherrypick in our team as part of change-merged hook,everytime a commit merges we use a bunch of git commands to cherrypick to the respective branches,it has been working reliably well for us
