Question about pacthing functionalities to Qt

johngod

I am trying to push a helper library that I am working on to qt code. But I have some questions:

after compiling qt code, I have the base in dev branch and the submodules in detach head.
Docs say to create a new branch with the changes I am working on, but I base or in the submodule ?
I created the new branch in the submodule qtquick3d, commit all the stuff, now when trying to push, I get

The current branch gamecontroller has no upstream branch.
To push the current branch and set the remote as upstream, use

    git push --set-upstream origin gamecontroller

To have this happen automatically for branches without a tracking
upstream, see 'push.autoSetupRemote' in 'git help config'.

So what is the upstream branch I should set ? I working on stuff for qtquick3d helpers module
Thanks

Hi,

You should always use the dev branch of whatever you want to contribute to.

As for pushing, did you follow the Qt Gerrit introduction ?

Hi @SGaist thanks, using the dev master worked.

git push gerrit HEAD:refs/for/dev
