I see that you already have a gerrit.ovirt.org, so it shouldn't be difficult. The initial setup should be like this: $ git config --global user.name youruser $ git config --global user.email your@email $ git clone ssh://youruser@gerrit.ovirt.org:29418/ovirt-engine-sdk $ gitdir=$(git rev-parse --git-dir); scp -p -P 29418 youruser@gerrit.ovirt.org:hooks/commit-msg ${gitdir}/hooks/ Then, to submit the patch: $ cd ovirt-engine-sdk $ Edit the vm_backup.py file, and make your changes. $ git commit -a -s $ git push origin HEAD:refs/for/master
