Is it possible to fetch an existing patchset (that has not been merged into my local machine), change and push it as a new Patch Set?
Cherry-pick the specific "patch set" of the "change list" (e.g. if there are 15 patch sets in a Change List and want to revert back to patch set #8). Get the cherry-pick command from Gerrit UI for the required patch set. Run that cherry-pick command, and use git commit --amend , then push your change.
The process of modify same commit and commit message on gerrit after patchset creation is pretty straight forward. Step 1 – Do the required modification in the code based on the review. Step 2 – Add files using git add commands. Step 3 – Command to update/amend the most recent commit.
@Uncletall put all the steps there and the link, the only thing is that you should not delete the changeId and you should do a git commit --amend. I am giving him a +1.
It should be like this
On Gerrit, go to the review, select "checkout", on the Download field as opposed to "pull", "cherry-pick", or "patch", then copy the command.
On the git project paste the copied link from above
This will create a detached head, which is a branch with no name (I've been through the desert on a horse with no name, It felt good to be out of the rain.)
Name that horse! git checkout -b new_branch_name
Change what you want and do a git add
on the files you want.
Do git commit --amend
and keep the same Change-Id
.
Push your changes:
git push origin <new_branch_name>:refs/for/<thatgerritbranchyouwanttochange>
