# change … not found

version 2.4.4-13-gb5e97bc

With this error message Gerrit rejects to push a commit to a change that cannot be found.

This error message means that the user explicitly pushed a commit to a non-existing change by specifying it as target ref. This way of adding a new patch set to a change is deprecated as explained here. It is recommended to only rely on Change-ID’s for replacing changes.
