| prohibited by Gerrit |
| ==================== |
| |
| This is a general error message that is returned by Gerrit if a push |
| is not allowed, e.g. because the pushing user has no sufficient |
| privileges. |
| |
| In particular this error occurs: |
| |
| 1. if you push a commit for code review to a branch for which you |
| don't have upload permissions (access right |
| link:access-control.html#category_push_review['Push'] on |
| `refs/for/refs/heads/*`) |
| 2. if you bypass code review without |
| link:access-control.html#category_push_direct['Push'] privileges |
| on `refs/heads/*` |
| 3. if you push a signed or annotated tag without |
| link:access-control.html#category_pTAG['Push Tag'] privileges |
| 4. if you push a lightweight tag without the access right link:access-control.html#category_create['Create |
| Reference'] for the reference name 'refs/tags/*' |
| |
| For new users it happens often that they accidentally try to bypass |
| code review. The push then fails with the error message 'prohibited |
| by Gerrit' because the project didn't allow to bypass code review. |
| Bypassing the code review is done by pushing directly to refs/heads/* |
| (e.g. refs/heads/master) instead of pushing to refs/for/* (e.g. |
| refs/for/master). Details about how to push commits for code review |
| are explained link:user-upload.html#push_create[here]. |
