Just thought I should add the solution in case others run into the same issue. In my case I miss the following line in the configuration: remote.gerrit.fetch=+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/gerrit/* Regards, -Steven From: Tran, Steven Sent: Monday, January 26, 2015 9:10 PM To: openstack-dev at lists.openstack.org Subject: [openstack-dev] [all] need help with my first commit: The branch 'master' does not exist on the given remote 'gerrit' Hi, Can someone point out what I miss that results in the following warning? $ git review The branch 'master' does not exist on the given remote 'gerrit'. If these changes are intended to start a new branch, re-run with the '-R' option enabled. I believe I shouldn't do "git review -R" because it prompts me to submit multiple commits. I can do "git review -s" without any errors. I follow the steps at http://docs.openstack.org/infra/manual/developers.html#starting-a-change I'm using Cygwin. $ git status On branch bp/murano-driver nothing to commit, working directory clean $ git branch * bp/murano-driver master $ git config --list core.repositoryformatversion=0 core.filemode=true core.bare=false core.logallrefupdates=true core.ignorecase=true remote.origin.url=https://github.com/stackforge/congress.git remote.origin.fetch=+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/* branch.master.remote=origin branch.master.merge=refs/heads/master remote.gerrit.url=ssh://stevenldt@review.openstack.org:29418/stackforge/congress.git user.name=Steven Tran user.email=steven.tran2 at hp.com<mailto:user.email=steven.tran2 at hp.com> gitreview.username=stevenldt $ git log commit 5567b6e4622246ad86cdb9d6c0643427573e8d13 Author: Steven Tran <steven.tran2 at hp.com<mailto:steven.tran2 at hp.com>> Date: Mon Jan 26 17:19:38 2015 -0800 Change-Id: Idc4abf32a7aa25231a7a6df511df998a0a3a50ad Implements: blueprint murano-driver Thanks, -Steven -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
