Git / gerrit, push remote rejected no changes made

Question

Made changes to a commit, performed commit amend. Do a push and I get the error:

! [remote rejected] master -> refs/for/master (no changes made)
         


        

Answer 1

It sounds like you are doing everything correctly as far as verifying you have made a change that Gerrit should pick up.

git push origin master:refs/for/master

Maybe this is the problem? If your changes aren't on your local version of the master branch, you aren't pushing your changes. Instead try:

git push origin HEAD:refs/for/master

HEAD is a shortcut that represents your current commit in git.
