 |  | 
 | If it was the intention to rework a change and to push a new patch | 
 | set, find the change in the Gerrit Web UI, copy its Change-Id line and | 
 | use it to correct the invalid Change-Id line in the commit message of | 
 | the commit for which the push is failing. How to do this is explained |

 | If it was the intention to create a new change in Gerrit simply | 
 | remove the invalid Change-Id line from the commit message of the | 
 | commit for which the push is failing. How to do this is explained | 
 | link:error-push-fails-due-to-commit-message.html#commit_hook[here]. In case you have configured the link:cmd-hook-commit-msg.html[commit hook] a new valid | 
 | Change-Id will be automatically generated and inserted. |
