Hello Patrick

This discussion belongs in the development mailing list. Please drop interest 
from Cc when you reply. (I'd usually Bcc, but then mailman will not allow the 
post to happen)

> git push origin dev

Actually:
	git push origin dev:refs/for/dev

Assuming that:
 a) origin is the Gerrit remote
 b) dev is the name of your local branch

refs/for/dev is literal like that, don't change it.

Note we don't usually want people to clone from Gerrit and pull from it. You 
should clone from code.qt.io and then have a separate remote (usually called 
"gerrit") for pushing the changes.
