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

With this error message Gerrit rejects to push a commit as a new patch set for a change, if the pushed commit is identical to the current patch set of this change.

A pushed commit is considered to be identical to the current patch set if

• the files in the commit,
• the commit message,
• the author of the commit and
• the parents of the commit

are all identical.
