git troubleshooting

• Problem : - Git simple pull-push steps

             Solution : -

• Clone repo  [ git clone git://xyz.com/projects/myproject.git ]
• Add files  [ git add . ]
• Commit all files  [ git commit --all ]
• Set remote url  [ git remote set-url origin git@git://xyz.com/projects/myproject.git ]
• Push changes  [   git push -u origin master ]

• Problem  : - git clone gives warning: “remote HEAD refers to nonexistent ref, unable to checkout.
• Solution 1: 
• Make sure the Submit/Push privileges are appropriately assigned to users/groups in Gerrit for the current project.
• Then make an initial commit on the cloned repo, copy that commit-id and create a new branch in 
• Gerrit  => Admin => Projects => Branches => Create New Branch 

                                         by giving Branch Name as master and Initial Revision as copied commit-id. 

• This creates master branch on repo, and further clones will not get the warning mentioned above.

• Solution 2:
• While creating the project,
• ssh -p 29418 gerrit create-project –name –empty-commit # –empty-commit creates the initial commit and master branch gets created
