Selecting a connection method (SSH or HTTPS)
Once Git/Gerrit is installed, you will need to select a connection method to the remote server.
We recommend using SSH in which case you need to register your public key in your account settings in gerritGerrit.
If you choose to use HTTP/HTTPS, you'll need to generate an access password. To do so:
In your gerrit Gerrit account settings, select HTTP Password:
...
This password may have a limited time to live, so if you might get errors like this one:
...
Regenerating a password will most likely solve the connectivity issue. Sometime, the gerrit Gerrit interface on HTTPS might be temporarily faulty, so retries might be needed.
...
Now clone the remote repository (because the repo already contains a commit from the LF Linux Foundation team that created it), since we clone in the current folder, it will create a sub folder with the remote copy
...
Now that everything is ready, you can sign off your commit, make sure that your git user matches the one set up on the LF Linux Foundation as this will be verified by the gerrit server
...
You may be prompted for your LF Linux Foundation account password
Now let's verify the commit hook work, this will show you the commit message and the sign off entry
