Integration with Git

Add Gerrit as one of your remotes

You will want to add Gerrit as a remote, using the username you selected in the Gerrit web interface,

 git remote add gerrit USERNAME@review.source.kitware.com:ITK

Gerrit allows you to select a username, and to upload your public SSH key(s).

How to push to Gerrit

When on your topic branch, to view the commits that will be pushed as changes,

  git fetch gerrit
  git log gerrit/master..

Then, when you have a topic branch ready to go,

  git push gerrit HEAD:refs/for/master/topic-name

Each of the commits listed by git log will then show up as a commit, optionally labeled with topic-name, in the Gerrit web interface. These commits can then be reviewed and integrated.
