Common support cases for our Gerrit admins stems from users creating projects without an initial empty commit. The absolute vast majority of end-users do want an initial commit in their newly created projects, but sometimes misses to check the "Create initial commit"-checkbox in the UI. When failing to do so, the situation may be a bit problematic to remedy for the end user since: * It is not always clear why they cannot push reviews to their newly created git. * It is cumbersome to create an empty root commit for casual git users * Direct push to refs/heads/* is not always permittable At our company we have yet to see someone creating an empty commit and do not want it.

Gerrit Code Review
Gerrit is a code review and project management tool for Git based projects.
Objective
Gerrit makes reviews easier by showing changes in a side-by-side display, and allowing inline comments to be added by any reviewer.
Gerrit simplifies Git based project maintainership by permitting any authorized user to submit changes to the master Git repository, rather than requiring all approved changes to be merged in by hand by the project maintainer.
Documentation
For information about how to install and use Gerrit, refer to the documentation.
Source
Our canonical Git repository is located on googlesource.com. There is a mirror of the repository on Github.

Contribute
Gerrit is the work of hundreds of contributors. We appreciate your help!

Note that we do not accept Pull Requests via the Github mirror.
