## Checking out unmerged patches
So you've decided to work on a new patch that depends on another that's still under review. There's no need to wait for it to be merged. Gerrit allows you to check out any patch easily

On each patch's page, there's a text-box with the commands to *checkout*, *pull*, *cherry-pick* and *patch* each particular patchset. You want to work on top of an existing patch so go ahead and check it out.


## Housekeeping

You will first need to clone three repositories from github:

1. OpenCAFE: this is core driver for writing and running tests. It contains a lot of base classes and the `cafe-runner` script used to collect and run cloudcafe tests.
    `git clone https://github.com/stackforge/opencafe.git`

2. CloudCAFE: the framework built on top of OpenCAFE. This consists of the API used to write tests and offers easy objects to access Openstack services. 
    `git clone https://github.com/stackforge/cloudcafe.git`

3. CloudRoast: the repository where the tests for Openstack are implemented. These make use of CloudCAFE as a framework and abstracts enough detail so you can focus on writing tests instead of Openstack internals.
    `git clone https://github.com/stackforage/cloudroast.git`
