If you haven't done it already, please set up your account for Git/Gerrit and other tools. You can find help at Getting Started steps.

Next, you will need some packages: git and git-review

Then git clone the project (with your ssh key). For example, to propose a patch to BGS (git repo name genesis):

git clone ssh://<yourname>@gerrit.opnfv.org:29418/genesis

Prepare for git review

git review -s

If you run into troubles, like "We don't know where your gerrit is. Please manually create a remote named "gerrit" and try again." you may need to manually add a remote

git remote add gerrit ssh://<yourname>@gerrit.opnfv.org:29418/<RELEVANT_REPO>.git

…do the work on files…

git add .
git commit --signoff --all
