Papyrus/Papyrus Developer Guide/How to Contribute to Papyrus with Gerrit

Using Gerrit, you can contribute to the Papryrus project, even if you aren't a commuter.

Sign in the eclipse development chart

• Create an Eclipse Bugzilla account : https://dev.eclipse.org/site_login/createaccount.php
• Sign the CLA : https://wiki.eclipse.org/CLA
• Activate your Gerrit account : https://git.eclipse.org/r/

Retrieve Papyrus code

To retrieve the papyrus code:

• via ssh : ssh://[committer_id]@git.eclipse.org/gitroot/papyrus/org.eclipse.papyrus.git, where [commiter_id] is your Gerrit id.
• via http : http://git.eclipse.org/c/papyrus/org.eclipse.papyrus.git

Configure push for Gerrit

Because you're not an official Papyrus commiter, you can't just commit your code on the papyrus git repository; you have to submit your contribution via the commit refs/for/master branch. You can configure EGit for push on that particular branch:

• On the Git Repositories view, open Remotes
• Add a new Remote by right clicking on Remotes, then choose Create Remote..., and choose a new name (for example Gerrit)

N.B. : you can also choose to modify the origin remote.

• Configure Gerrit for this remote by right clicking on it, and Gerrit Configuration

You now have to configure the repository URI :

• Choose your preferred protocole (http, https, ssh)
• Enter the papyrus URI : https://git.eclipse.org/r/p/papyrus/org.eclipse.papyrus
• Enter your Gerrit user & password

If you're experiencing problems, please verify that you're pushing on refs/for/master (Or refs/draft/master for hidden review)

How to commit

When you're not an official Papyrus commuter, you have to sign-off and change-id all your commits You can do that easily using EGit by just clicking the two following buttons:

The first line of your commit comment should be the bugzilla task number and it name; example : Bug 12345 - The name of the bug you fixed.
