FAQ

Here is a list of common issues and possible solutions. Feel free to file an issue, if your issue has not been answered.

GitHub

A new committer has been added to an Eclipse project, but does not have access to a project's GitHub repo. Why?

Adding committers/project leads to GitHub teams is handled automatically by a sync script that runs every two hours and relies on information from PMI (projects.eclipse.org). We cannot add committers manually. Please check:
  • The committer needs to add their GitHub ID to their Eclipse.org account. (Please note, that it might take up to 2 hours for our sync script to pick up changes.)
  • An invitation to join the relevant GitHub organization might have been sent out via email already. Please also check your spam folder. Alternatively, while being logged into your GitHub account, go to the relevant GitHub organization (e.g. https://github.com/eclipse) and a banner at the top should show a link to accept the invitation.

Gerrit

I want to change my email address in Gerrit, but it does not work.

Changing your email address directly in Gerrit (https://git.eclipse.org/r/settings/#EmailAddresses) is not supported. Unfortunately, we can't disable the relevant options in Gerrit.

If you want to change your email address, you will need to do it in your Eclipse.org account. The change will then be picked up by Gerrit as well.
