| = 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 fails 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 Web UI | 
 |   go to 'Projects' > 'List' 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 Web UI before pushing (go to | 
 |   'Projects' > 'List' and browse your project, in the 'Branches' | 
 |   tab you can then create a new branch). | 
 |  | 
 | Please note that you need to be granted the | 
 | link:access-control.html#category_create['Create reference'] access to create new branches. |
