With git you should make all your changes in a local branch. Once your change is committed, you can delete this branch.

Create a local branch named "mywork" and make changes to it.

  cd src
  git new-branch mywork
  vi ...

Commit your change locally (this doesn't commit your change to the SVN or Git server)

  git commit -a

If you added new files, you should tell git so by running git add <files> before committing.

Upload your change for review

  git cl upload

Send a try job

  git cl try

See Contributing code for more detailed git instructions, including how to update your CL when you get review comments.

There's a short tutorial that might be helpful to try before your first change: C++ in Chromium 101.
