Note that every repository is separate. So core, each extension, and each skin all have different git repositories. You need to navigate to the correct directory (e.g. extensions/ExtensionName) before running git commands. The below git commands will only affect one repository at a time.

To update an existing unmerged commit (replace <NUMBERHERE> with the number from the Gerrit URL):

• Download the change from Gerrit
  • git review -d <NUMBERHERE>
• Make the changes
• Amend the commit
  • git commit --amend
• Upload to Gerrit
  • git review

Starting a new change. Replace <BRANCHNAME> with a branch name that describes what you're working on, e.g. newDialog

• Update master
  • git checkout master
  • git pull
• git checkout -b <BRANCHNAME>
• [Do work]
• Upload changes
  • git commit/git commit --all
  • git review
