hi, I am a newbie in using *git*. So any help in the right direction would help a lot.
I am working on an issue, on my local repository, and I found that this bug was fixed in the kernel.org repository. So now i am trying to pull in (cherry-pick) this fix (commit-id) from the kernel.org branch and submit it to my local gerrit. And I am trying to maintain the commit message of the commit from kernel.org branch. When i try to push this fix on my local gerrit, i face the following error: Error: To ssh://<username>@123.321.12.1:1234/mirror-sec/asdfgt/hjks ! [remote rejected] <*branch>* -> refs/for/*<branch>* (not Signed-off-by author/committer/uploader in commit message footer) error: failed to push some refs to 'ssh://<username>@123.321.12.1:1234/mirror-sec/asdfgt/hjks' Following are the steps that I followed: 1. did, *git remote add 'tag' git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux* 2. did, *git fetch 'tag'* 3. searched for the commit, *git log 'tag'/master* 4. cherry-picked the specific commit-id needed, *git cherry-pick <commit-id>* 5. did, *git commit --amend*, to get a new change-id for the cherry-picked commit-id 6. did a git push, so submit the change to the local gerrit. *git push ssh://<username>@123.321.12.1:1234/mirror-sec/asdfgt/hjks <branch>:refs/for/<branch>* when i followed the above steps mentioned, I face the above error mentioned. Is there anything that I am doing wrong? Any information that I am overlooking would help a lot.
