+Clone with ssh
+==============
+
+Clone the repo with:

$ git clone ssh://gerrit.fd.io:29418/vpp
$ cd vpp
+This will only work if the name of the user on your system matches your Gerrit username.
+
+Otherwise, clone with:

+
+Then add and commit the patch. For documents we will add a tag **DOCS:**
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
$ git add <filename>
- $ git commit -s
+ $ git commit -s -m "DOCS: <COMMIT_MESSAGE>"
$ git review

+If you are creating a draft, meaning you do not want your changes reviewed yet, do the following:
-.. note::
+.. code-block:: console
$ git review -D
-
-To get back to the master:
+After submitting a review, reset where the HEAD is pointing to with:
.. code-block:: console
$ git reset --hard origin/master
- $ git checkout master
Existing patch
---------------
+-----------------------
+
+The "change number" used below is in the URL of the review.
-To modify an existing patch:
+After clicking an individual review, the change number can be found in the URL at "https://gerrit.fd.io/r/#/c/<CHANGE_NUMBER>/"
+To view an existing patch:
.. code-block:: console
- $ git review -d <review number>
+ $ git review -d <change number>
$ git status
+ $ git diff
+
+.. caution::
+
+ If you have made changes and do "git review -d <change number>", your current
+ changes will try to be stashed so that the working tree can change to the review branch
+ you specified. If you want to make sure you don't lose your changes, clone another Gerrit
+ repo into a new directory using the cloning steps shown in :ref:`clone-ssh`, and perform
+ "git review -d <change number>" in this new directory.
+
+To modify an existing patch, make sure you modified the correct files, and apply the patch with:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ git review -d <change number>
+ $ git status
+ $ git diff
+
$ git add <filename>
$ git commit --amend
$ git review
+
+When you're done viewing or modifying a branch, get back to the master branch with:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ git reset --hard origin/master
+ $ git checkout master
