## Code Review

This project uses Gerrit for code review:
https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/
which uses the ["git push" workflow][1] with server
https://gerrit.googlesource.com/k8s-gerrit. You will need a
[generated cookie][2].

Gerrit depends on "Change-Id" annotations in your commit message.
If you try to push a commit without one, it will explain how to
install the proper git-hook:

```
curl -Lo `git rev-parse --git-dir`/hooks/commit-msg \
    https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/tools/hooks/commit-msg
chmod +x `git rev-parse --git-dir`/hooks/commit-msg
```

Before you create your local commit (which you'll push to Gerrit)
you will need to set your email to match your Gerrit account:

```
git config --local --add user.email foo@bar.com
```

Normally you will create code reviews by pushing for master:

```
git push origin HEAD:refs/for/master
```
