First, you need to create the project on the Gerrit server using gerrit create-project.

Next, edit the project permissions if necessary to add the following for your user (Administrators group, probably):

  • Create reference
  • Forge committer identity
  • Forge author identity

This allows you to upload an existing history, perhaps committed by different people, bypassing the need to review every commit you select.

Finally, push your code:

git remote add gerrit gerritserver:project
git push gerrit master:refs/heads/master
