Name

gbp-pull -- Safely update a repository from remote

Synopsis

gbp-pull [--verbose] [--force=[merge|clean]] [--all] [--redo-pq] [--[no-]pristine-tar] [--debian-branch=branch_name | --packaging-branch=branch_name] [--upstream-branch=branch_name] [--depth=depth]

DESCRIPTION

gbp-pull updates the debian, upstream and pristine-tar branches from a remote repository in one go. It checks if the update is safe (would result in a fast-forward merge) and aborts otherwise.

OPTIONS

--force=[merge|clean]

Force a branch update even if this results in a non fast forward update. merge does a git-merge. clean checks out a clean copy from upstream.

Warning

using clean makes you lose your modifications.

--all

Update all remote-tracking branches that have identical name in the remote repository.

--redo-pq

also rebuild the corresponding patch-queue using gbp-pq.

Warning

This drops the patch-queue branch if it exists.

--debian-branch=branch_name

The branch in the Git repository the Debian package is being developed on, default is master.

--packaging-branch=branch_name

The branch the packaging is being maintained on. Alternative to the --debian-branch option.

--upstream-branch=branch_name

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

--depth=depth

Git history depth, for deepening shallow git clones.

--verbose, -v

verbose execution

--pristine-tar

Whether to update the pristine-tar branch too.

EXIT CODES

When gbp-pull finishes it indicates success or failure with it's exit code:

0

Success.

1

An error occured during the pull, see the printed error message for details.

2

At least one branch couldn't be fast forwarded.

CONFIGURATION FILES

Several gbp.conf files are parsed to set defaults for the above commandline arguments. See the gbp.conf(5) manpage for details.
