# Working on the master branch
+
## Intro
+
This is a quick howto for working on the 'master' branch. Working on the branch
is easy as we maintain all changes through gerrit.automotivelinux.org.
If you are unfamiliar with gerrit, please read these fine how-to pages were put together from the
-Mediawiki community here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Gerrit/Tutorial . This covers the basics very well. Of course we'll work with gerrit.automotivelinux.org instead so apply likewise.

## Installation of tools

Install `git` with your distributions package manager.
A very useful tool is "git-review" (cmdline is then `git review`).
Install it from your distro or with `sudo pip install git-review`.
## Prerequisites

## Using git review to review/test-build a specific change in gerrit
+
'git review' is also useful if you want to review a change.
Example for meta-agl:
-```
+
+```bash
repo init -u https://gerrit.automotivelinux.org/gerrit/AGL/AGL-repo
repo sync
cd meta-agl/
git review -d 8233
```
+
This will pull-down change 8233. Now we can build with it applied:
-```
+
+```bash
cd ..
source ...
bitbake ...
-````
+```
## Using gerrit to amend a changeset while in review
+
The same workflow applies if you want to _amend_ a changeset while it is in review (not merged, yet):
-```
+
+```bash
cd meta-agl/
git review -d 8233
```
+
This will pull-down change 8233. You can now edit a file:
-```
+
+```bash
vi meta-xyz/recipes-foo/bar/baz.bb
git commit -s --amend
```
Don't forget a test build
-```
+
+```bash
cd ..
source meta-agl/scripts/aglsetup.sh ..... agl-all-features
bitbake ... # e.g. agl-demo-platform
```
Finally call git review to upload the change
-```
-git review

+```bash
+git review
