Regarding the steps to upload ssh key to gerrit account

[Pradeep Kumar]

You need a simple entry with your codereview username that looks like this:

   Host codereview.qt-project.org
    Port 29418
    User <name means user name or name given to gerrit account>
    IdentityFile <private key file path>

As specified in the link https://wiki.qt.io/Setting_up_Gerrit#Local_Setup ,
based on this i asked Gerrit username?.
and file path?.

Yes, gerrit username.

and file path?

Path to private key file, e.g. id_rsa meaning ~/.ssh/config/id_rsa. I use the default, so I don't have that entry.

K i rephrase

    Host codereview.qt-project.org
    Port 29418
    User pradeep_kumar.m
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/config/ida_rsa

As per the username which i provided to Gerrit account.

And Firstly i should not login as root
second angular brackets should not be there

Is this correct.

Appears to be correct. You do this per OS user, meaning if you did that as root and then login as another user, you need to repeat for that other user.

1. How to get started - Gerrit registration
2. Local Setup

in case Gerrit registration and Local set up i understood , then coming to Configuring Git

3. Configuring Git.

I followed below link as i done in root user.
https://wiki.qt.io/Setting_up_Gerrit#Configuring_Git

Now i will do as a normal user.
so is it fine?.

While Configuring Git

Link is here.
https://wiki.qt.io/Setting_up_Gerrit#Configuring_Git

We need provide the commands in user path not as root user.

The below commands

$ git config --global user.name "Your Name"
$ git config --global user.email "me@example.com"

user name is our name.
user email is gerrit account registered email

which i provided in Gerrit account, here is the link

To facilitate following the style guide for commit messages, it is recommended to install the Qt commit message template:

$ git config --global commit.template <path to qt5.git or qt.git>/.commit-template

path is where the source code is there, we get .git directory, that path we need to give

Ex : /user/qt5/.git

git config --global commit.template </user/qt5/.git>/.commit-template

Is this correct?.

That's what I advise, yes - use a normal user, not the root.

Is this correct?

[Pradeep Kumar]

And I have answered in my previous post. If I may be completely blunt, I can't hold your hand through the whole processes, I know it seems confusing at first, but it's just required to follow the instructions in the wiki to the letter.

[Pradeep Kumar]

yes i need to follow correctly , i dont know where is the configuration wrong.
