Sometimes it is useful to share work directly, rather than just via code
reviews. Everyone who is a Chromium Committer has permission to push their work
to a set of experimental refs in the chromium/src.git repository. Simply

1.  Check out the branch you wish to push
2.  git push origin HEAD:refs/experimental/**<your
            username>**/**<branch name>**

where **<your username>** is "foo@chromium.org" and **<branch
name>** is whatever you want the ref to be called (e.g. "foo-refactor-wip").
You'll then be able to view your push online at
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/refs/experimental/<your
username>/<branch name>.

Note that anyone, including anonymous users, can checkout or view online what
you push to your experimental ref.
