1# OpenBMC Gerrit Setup/Integration
2
3**Document Purpose:** Walkthrough configuring your workstation and a Gerrit
4                      account. This is needed to participate in OpenBMC's
5                      Gerrit-based code reviews.
6
7**Prerequisites:** Current Linux, Mac, or Windows system. Git packages
8                   installed. E-mail account (recommended to use the same e-mail
9                   address for both Gerrit and GitHub).
10
11## Initial Setup
12
13##### Update Git Identity
14
15* `git config --global --add user.name "Your name" (eg. John Smith)`
16* `git config --global --add user.email "youremail@your-domain"
17    (eg. jsmith@somedomain.com)`
18* (Optional) `git config --global --add diff.tool "preferred diff tool"
19    (eg. gvimdiff or meld)`
20
21
22##### Setup SSH Keys
23Create keys: ```ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "your_email@your-domain"```
24* Recommended to use the defaults instead of picking your own directory/file
25  names.
26
27Add Keys to GitHub:
28* <https://help.github.com/articles/adding-a-new-ssh-key-to-your-github-account/>
29
30Add Keys to OpenBMC's Gerrit Server:
31* Login to [Gerrit](https://gerrit.openbmc-project.xyz/) with your GitHub
32  account.
33* Go to
34  <https://gerrit.openbmc-project.xyz/plugins/github-plugin/static/account.html>
35* Your information should be auto-filled, so click "Next".
36* If successful you should see a blank screen, feel free to exit out.
37
38##### Add e-mail to Gerrit
39* Login to [Gerrit](https://gerrit.openbmc-project.xyz/)
40* Enter e-mail in Settings -> Contact Information -> Register New E-Mail
41* Check e-mail for confirmation and click the link to confirm
42
43##### Add SSH config entry
44Add the following to `~/.ssh/config`:
45```
46Host openbmc.gerrit
47    Hostname gerrit.openbmc-project.xyz
48    Port 29418
49    User <YOUR-GERRIT-ID>
50```
51* **NOTE**: There is a bug in AFS that requires `AFSTokenPassing no` to be
52            added to the SSH entry if using AFS.
53* Your Gerrit ID can be found in Gerrit under Settings -> Profile -> Username
54* Ensure proper permissions for for your .ssh directory: `chmod 600 ~/.ssh/*`
55
56##### Confirm Setup Success
57Test connectivity to Gerrit by attempting to clone a repo
58* `git clone ssh://openbmc.gerrit/openbmc/docs`
59* If successful you should see something like:
60    `Checking out files: 100% (45/45), done.`
61
62##### Add Hooks
63Inside the repo you just cloned, enter the following commands:
64```
65gitdir=$(git rev-parse --git-dir)
66scp -p -P 29418 openbmc.gerrit:hooks/commit-msg ${gitdir}/hooks
67```
68This will enhance the `git commit` command to add a `Change-Id` to your commit
69message which Gerrit uses to track the review.
70
71##### Push Code Change to Gerrit
72Now that your workstation and Gerrit are configured, you are ready to make code
73changes and push them to Gerrit for code review. Here is what the basic workflow
74will look like.
75* Make your code changes
76* Add those files to the index to be committed:
77  `git add [file1 file2 ... fileN]`
78* Commit your changes, adding a Signed-off-by line to it (more on
79  [writing good commit messages](https://github.com/openbmc/docs/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#submitting-changes)):
80  `git commit --signoff`
81* Push your changes to Gerrit for code review:
82  `git push origin HEAD:refs/for/master`
83* Go to [Gerrit web interface](https://gerrit.openbmc-project.xyz/), click on
84  your new review, and add reviewers based on `MAINTAINERS` file in the repo.
85
86##### Conclusion
87If you've completed all of the above steps successfully, that's it! You have now
88set up Gerrit and know how to submit your code changes for review!
