Gerrit/Web tutorial

You can submit and modify requested changes to a repository using the Gerrit website. This is a tutorial describing how to do these things.

Create a change
If you're logged in to Gerrit, you can create code changes directly within the web interface. This can be useful for making small patches, or for non-developers to contribute small fixes.


 * 1) Go to https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/admin/repos/ and choose the code repository that you want to edit.
 * 2) Select "Commands" in the sidebar
 * 3) Click "Create Change"
 * 4) Set branch to "master" (if you don't want to use master branch you can use the other branches available for that project)
 * 5) Set the topic to something of your choosing (e.g. "copy-edit" - must be all-one-string) (optional)
 * 6) Write a description ("commit summary") in the big text field by following message guidelines. (Example)
 * 7) Click "Create"
 * 8) In the upper right corner, click the "Edit" button
 * 9) Under "Files", click "ADD/OPEN/UPLOAD" button Add-open-upload_button_on_commit_in_gerrit.png
 * 10) Type the folder/file path for the file you wish to edit (e.g. i18n/en.json) and click "Confirm"
 * 11) Find the line(s) you want to change, and change them.
 * 12) Click "Save"
 * 13) Click "Close"
 * 14) Click "Publish edit"
 * 15) Click "Mark as active" to remove the "Work in Progress" status from your code changes

Modify a change
To modify the files in a change, first click "Edit' in the upper right.

Then, to edit a file in a change, click "Actions" to the right of the file in the list and click "Add/Open/Upload".

To add a file to a change, click "ADD/OPEN/UPLOAD" under "Files".
