Onboarding into the OpenStack Community with Git and Gerrit
summary
Step-by-step setup for contributing to OpenStack: install Git and Gerrit, create an Ubuntu One/OpenStack ID, sign the ICLA, add an SSH public key, run git config and install git review. Workflow clones upstream (no forks), creates a branch, commits, then runs git review to push a change into Gerrit; automated testing via Zuul gates patches and merges on +2 approvals. Demo shows reviewers fixing tiny doc typos live and merges completing through the gate.
