Git and Gerrit essentials for Qt based work
summary
Covers concrete steps to contribute to Qt: clone the multi-repo tree with git clone --recursive, set user.name/email and SSH keys, install the Change-Id hook, commit and push to Gerrit using the refs/for/<branch> ref, target stable branches for bugfixes, and sign the contributor agreement. Demonstrates a real small bugfix on a Qt module, shows how to pick reviewers via git log/git blame, upload revised patch sets, receive a +2 and press submit so the change lands. Also mentions gitk and Sourcetree for history and staging.
