Submitting Patches

Our ROM is open source, and patches are always welcome! You can send patches by using these commands:

cd <project>
<make edits>
git add -A
git commit -m "commit message"
git push ssh://<username>@gerrit.omnirom.org:29418/<project> HEAD:refs/for/android-5.1

Register at gerrit.omnirom.org and use the username that you registered there in the above command

Commit your patches in a single commit. Squash multiple commit using this command: git rebase -i HEAD~<# of commits>

If you are going to make extra additions, just repeat steps (Don't start a new patch), but instead of git commit -m use git commit --amend. Gerrit will recognize it as a new patchset.

To view the status of your and others patches, visit OMNI ROM Code Review
