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.
