NAME¶

git-import-orig - Import an upstream source into a git repository

SYNOPSIS¶

git-import-orig [ --verbose ] [ --upstream-version=version ] [ --[no-]merge ] [ --upstream-branch=branch_name ] [ --debian-branch=branch_name ] [ --upstream-vcs-tag= tag_name ] [ --[no-]sign-tags ] [ --keyid=gpg-keyid ] [ --upstream-tag=tag-format ] [ --filter=pattern ] [ --[no-]pristine-tar ] [ --[no-]filter-pristine-tar ] [ --postimport=cmd ] [ --uscan ] upstream-source

DESCRIPTION¶

git-import-orig imports upstream-source into the Git repository. upstream-source can either be a gzip or bzip2 compressed tar archive or an already unpacked source tree. If it is already of the form package-name_version.orig.tar.gz, the version information is read from the tarball's filename otherwise it can be given on the command line via --upstream-version. The sources are placed on the upstream branch (default: upstream), tagged and merged onto the debian branch (default: master).

OPTIONS¶

--upstream-version=version

-uversion

The upstream version number

--merge

Merge the upstream branch to the debian branch after import

--upstream-branch=branch_name

The branch in the Git repository the upstream sources are put onto. Default is upstream.

--debian-branch=branch_name

The branch in the Git repository the Debian package is being developed on, default is master. After importing the new sources on the upstream branch, git-import-orig will try to merge the new version onto this branch.

--upstream-vcs-tag=tag_name

Add tag_name as additional parent to the commit of the upstream tarball. Useful when upstream uses git and you want to link to it's revision history.

--verbose

-v

verbose execution

--[no-]sign-tags

GPG sign all created tags

--keyid=gpg-keyid

use this keyid for gpg signing tags

--upstream-tag=tag-format

use this tag format when tagging upstream versions, default is upstream/%(versions)s

--import-msg=msg-format

use this format string for the commit message when importing upstream versions, default is Imported Upstream version %(version)s

--filter=pattern

filter out files glob-matching pattern. Can be given multiple times.

--pristine-tar

generate pristine-tar delta file

--filter-pristine-tar

if using a filter also filter the files out of the tarball passed to pristine tar

--postimport=cmd

run cmd after the import.

--uscan

Use uscan to fetch new upstream version.

CONFIGURATION FILES¶

Several gbp.conf files are parsed to set defaults for the above commandline arguments. See the [XRef to GBP.MAN.GBP.CONF] manpage for details.
