【gerrit】git push origin HEAD:refs/for/xxx的意思

1.git push <remote 名字> <本地分支的名字> : <远程库的名字>

git push origin HEAD:refs/for/xxx
git push 推送
origin : 是远程的库的名字

xxx:就是填你的分支名
HEAD: 是一个特别的指针，它是一个指向你正在工作的本地分支的指针，可以把它当做本地分支的别名，git这样就可以知道你工作在哪个分支

refs/for :意义在于我们提交代码到服务器之后是需要经过code review 之后才能进行merge的
refs/heads 不需要

2.     这个不是git的规则，而是gerrit的规则，

 Branches, remote-tracking branches, and tags等等都是对commite的引用(reference),引用都以 “refs/……”表示. 比如remote branch: origin/git_int(=refs/remotes/origin/git_int)， local tag: v2.0(=refs/tags/v2.0)， local branch: git_int(=refs/heads/git_int)…

  简单点说，就是refs/for/mybranch需要经过code review之后才可以提交；refs/heads/mybranch不需要code review。

下面一段是对“refs/for”更详细的描述：

The documentation for Gerrit explains that you push to the "magical refs/for/'branch' ref using any Git client tool".

This image is taken from the Intro to Gerrit. When you push to Gerrit, you do git push gerrit HEAD:refs/for/<BRANCH>. This pushes your changes to the staging area (in the diagram, "Pending Changes"). Gerrit doesn't actually have a branch called <BRANCH>; it lies to the git client.

Internally, Gerrit has it's own implementation for the Git and SSH stacks. This allows it to provide the "magical" refs/for/<BRANCH> refs.

When a push request is received to create a ref in one of these namespaces Gerrit performs its own logic to update the database, and then lies to the client about the result of the operation. A successful result causes the client to believe that Gerrit has created the ref, but in reality Gerrit hasn’t created the ref at all.  

After a successful patch (i.e, the patch has been pushed to Gerrit, [putting it into the "Pending Changes" staging area], reviewed, and the review has passed), Gerrit pushes the change from the "Pending Changes" into the "Authoritative Repository", calculating which branch to push it into based on the magic it did when you pushed to refs/for/<BRANCH>. This way, successfully reviewed patches can be pulled directly from the correct branches of the Authoritative Repository.
