Push patches to Gerrit

Open a shell to the directory containing the project repo
Create a local working branch, based on the branch you would like to make changes to.
```
git fetch origin
git checkout -b new_feature_branch origin/master
```
Replace origin/master with whichever remote/branch you need to contribute to. Typically master is the latest development branch.
Make the modifications you would like to change in the project
Stage the modified files for commit. (Repeat for all files modified)
```
git add /path/to/file
```
Verify the staged files by running git status
Commit the staged files by amending the patch
```
git commit -s
```
Note
The ‘-s’ argument signs the commit message with your name and email and is a statement that you agree to the Developer’s Certificate of Origin.
Push the patch to Gerrit using one of the 2 methods documented:
1. Push using git review
2. Push using git push
