+Configure git and gerrit
+========================
+
+Basics
+------
+The recommended version of git is 2.7.4 or later.  Check the installed version in the Ubuntu VM:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+  git --version
+
+Create an SSH key to user with gerrit.  Use no passphrase.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+  ssh-keygen -t rsa
+
+Enter your SSH public key (id_rsa) into gerrit:
+
+- Browse to https://gerrit.onap.org
+- Log in
+- Open the menu next to your name (under the green search button)
+
+.. image:: images/Configure_git_1.png
+
+- Select "Settings"
+- In the "Settings" sidebar, click "SSH Public Keys"`
+- Click "Add Key..."
+- Paste the entire contents of $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa.pub into the text area and click "Add".

+
+Install the git-review package.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+  sudo apt update
+  sudo apt install git-review
+
+Create $HOME/.gitconfig (replace highlighted values with your own information):
+  [user]
+
+        name = FirstName LastName
+
+        email = you@yourcompany.com
+
+  [core]
+
+        autocrlf = false
+
+  [merge]
+
+        tool = vimdiff
+
+  [gitreview]
+
+        username = YourLinuxFoundationId
+
+**If you're behind a corporate firewall and your proxy server has SOCKS support...**
+
+You may be able to use the SSH protocol with git, which is preferred versus HTTP.  This method is known to work in the AT&T corporate network.
+Install the socat package, which allows you to tunnel SSH connections through a proxy that supports SOCKS:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+  sudo apt update
+  sudo apt install socat
+
+Create (or append to) $HOME/.ssh/config (replace highlighted values with your information)
+
+  Host gerrit.onap.org
+
+  User userid
+
+  Hostname gerrit.onap.org
+
+  ProxyCommand socat - PROXY:host:%h:%p,proxyport=port
+
+  IdentityFile /home/userid/.ssh/id_rsa
+
+  ServerAliveInterval 10
+
+Verify that you have connectivity to gerrit through the proxy.  Answer "yes" to continue connecting, if prompted.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+  ssh -p 29418 gerrit.onap.org
