Description: Creating just a Gerrit password isn't enough. Before you can push a change to Gerrit, you must also create/associate a Gerrit account with the google account used to create the password. This avoids "git push ..." rejections like this: remote: PERMISSION_DENIED: The caller does not have permission remote: [type.googleapis.com/google.rpc.LocalizedMessage] remote: locale: "en-US" remote: message: "\'git push\' requires a Gerrit user account."
