+Submitting changes via Gerrit server
+------------------------------------
+
+The openbmc gerrit server supports Gihub credentials, its link is:
+
+  https://gerrit.openbmc-project.xyz/#/q/status:open
+
+_One time setup_: Login to the WebUI with your github credentials and verify on
+your account Settings that your SSH keys were imported:
+
+  https://gerrit.openbmc-project.xyz/#/settings/
+
+Most repositories are supported by the gerrit server, the current list can be
+found under Projects -> List:
+
+  https://gerrit.openbmc-project.xyz/#/admin/projects/
+
+If you're going to be working with gerrit often, it's useful to create an SSH
+host block in ~/.ssh/config. Ex:
+```
+Host openbmc.gerrit
+        Hostname gerrit.openbmc-project.xyz
+        Port 29418
+        User your_github_id
+```
+
+From your openbmc git repository, add a remote to the gerrit server, where
+'openbmc_repo' is the current git repository you're working on, such as
+phosphor-rest-server, and 'openbmc.gerrit' is the name of the Host previously added:
+
+  `git remote add gerrit ssh://your_github_id@openbmc.gerrit/openbmc/openbmc_repo`
+
+Obtain the git hook commit-msg to automatically add a Change-Id to the commit
+message, which is needed by gerrit:
+
+  `gitdir=$(git rev-parse --git-dir)`
+
+  `scp -p -P 29418 your_github_id at gerrit.openbmc-project.xyz:hooks/commit-msg ${gitdir}/hooks`
+
+To submit a change set, commit your changes, and push to the gerrit server,
+where 'gerrit' is the name of the remote added with the git remote add command:
+
+  `git push gerrit HEAD:refs/for/master`
+
