3.4.11 Pushing to staging

Do not push directly to the git master branch. Instead, push to staging.

You will not see your patch on origin/master until some automatic tests have been run. These tests are run every couple of hours; please wait at least 12 hours before wondering if your patch has been lost. Note that you can check the commits on origin/staging by looking at the git web interface on savannah.

If your work is in a patch file

Assuming that your patch is in a file called ‘0001-my-patch.patch’, and you are currently on git master, do:

git checkout staging
git pull -r
git am 0001-my-patch.patch
gitk
git push origin staging
git checkout master

If your work is in a branch

If you are working on branches and your work in is my_branch_name, then do:

git checkout staging
git pull -r
git merge my_branch_name
gitk
git push origin staging
