branch ... not found
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
With this error message Gerrit rejects to push a commit for code
|
|
review if the specified target branch does not exist.
|
|
|
|
To push a change for code review the commit has to be pushed to the
|
|
project's magical `refs/for/'branch'` ref (for details have a look at
|
|
link:user-upload.html#push_create[Create Changes]).
|
|
If you specify a non existing branch in the `refs/for/'branch'` ref
|
|
the push is failing with the error message 'branch ... not found'.
|
|
|
|
To fix this problem verify
|
|
* that the branch name in the push specification is typed correctly
|
|
(case sensitive) and
|
|
* that the branch really exists for this project (in the Gerrit WebUI
|
|
go to 'Admin' -> 'Projects' and browse your project, then click on
|
|
'Branches' to see all existing branches).
|
|
|
|
If it was your intention to create a new branch you can either
|
|
* bypass code review on push as explained link:user-upload.html#bypass_review[here] or
|
|
* create the new branch in the Gerrit WebUI before pushing (go to
|
|
'Admin' -> 'Projects' and browse your project, in the 'Branches'
|
|
tab you can then create a new branch).
|
|
Please note that you need the access right '+2 Create Branch' in the
|
|
link:access-control.html#category_pHD['Push Branch'] category to create new branches.
