| branch ... not found |
| ==================== |
| |
| With this error message Gerrit rejects to push a commit for code |
| review if the specified target branch does not exist. |
| |
| To push a change for code review the commit has to be pushed to the |
| project's magical `refs/for/'branch'` ref (for details have a look at |
| link:user-upload.html#push_create[Create Changes]). |
| If you specify a non existing branch in the `refs/for/'branch'` ref |
| the push is failing with the error message 'branch ... not found'. |
| |
| To fix this problem verify |
| |
| * that the branch name in the push specification is typed correctly |
| (case sensitive) and |
| * that the branch really exists for this project (in the Gerrit WebUI |
| go to 'Admin' -> 'Projects' and browse your project, then click on |
| 'Branches' to see all existing branches). |
| |
| If it was your intention to create a new branch you can either |
| |
| * bypass code review on push as explained link:user-upload.html#bypass_review[here] or |
| * create the new branch in the Gerrit WebUI before pushing (go to |
| 'Admin' -> 'Projects' and browse your project, in the 'Branches' |
| tab you can then create a new branch). |
| |
| Please note that you need the access right '+2 Create Branch' in the |
| link:access-control.html#category_pHD['Push Branch'] category to create new branches. |
