gbp-clone - Clone a repository from remote
SYNOPSIS
gbp-clone [ --verbose ] [ --all ] [ --[no-]pristine-tar ] [ --debian-branch=branch_name ] [ --upstream-branch=branch_name ] [ --depth=depth
] remote_uri
DESCRIPTION
gbp-clone clones a remote repository and sets up tracking branches for the debian, upstream and pristine-tar branches. This way you can
easily update later using gbp-pull.
OPTIONS --all Track all branches, not only debian and upstream.
--debian-branch=branch_name
The branch in the Git repository the Debian package is being developed on, default is master.
--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 creating shallow git clones.
--verbose
-v verbose execution
--pristine-tar
Track pristine tar branch.
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.

gbp.conf - git-buildpackage configuration file
SYNOPSIS
/etc/git-buildpackage/gbp.conf
system wide
~/.gbp.conf
per user
.gbp.conf
per branch, can be published with the repository (deprecated)
debian/gbp.conf
per branch, can be published with the repository
.git/gbp.conf
per repository
DESCRIPTION
The gbp.conf provides default global options and specific options for git-buildpackage commands. All have the same format and are parsed in
the above order. The file consists of several sections, one for each command. Comments start with a hash sign (#). The generic file syntax
is:
[DEFAULT]
# This is section for global settings. Affects all commands
key = value
[<command>]
# Specific sections for each command, like git-buildpackage
key = value
[remote-config <name>]
# Specific sections for a remote configuration. This can be used several
# times to set up remote configuration for gbp-create-remote-repo
key = value
key=value pairs of the command sections reflect the command line options and their settings. For example git-buildpackage(1) manualpage
contains the --git-export-dir=diirectory option which can be turned into configuration file setting by dropping the --git prefix with:
[git-buildpackage]
export-dir = directory
Notice that some option are actually repeatable, or take Python lists. For example the git-import-orig(1) commmand has the --filter=pat-
tern option which can be truned into a configuration file option like this:
[git-import-orig]
filter = .svn
filter = .hg
An alternative way is to write it using Python list syntax:
[git-import-orig]
filter = [ '.svn', '.hg' ]
Boolean options can bei either True or False. For example git-import-orig(1); has the --pristine-tar and --no-pristine-tar options which
translate to:
[git-import-orig]
pristine-tar = True
and
[git-import-orig]
pristine-tar = False
respectively.
Note: To see the current set of values that would be applied after parsing the configuration files run the command with --help and
check it's output.
Note: git-import-dscs and git-pbuilder can't be configured via gbp.conf.
gbp-create-remote-repo(1) can additionally parse remote site configurations from gbp.conf. For example a configration like:
[remote-config pkg-libvirt]
# Location of the repository
remote-url-pattern = ssh://git.debian.org/git/pkg-libvirt/%(pkg)s
# Template dir to passed to git-init
template-dir = /srv/alioth.debian.org/chroot/home/groups/pkg-libvirt/git-template
Can be used to create remote repositories for the pkg-libvirt project using:
gbp-create-remote-repo --remote-config=pkg-libvirt
This can be useful if you're often creating new remote repositores for different projects.
EXAMPLES
An example set up for packaging work:
# $HOME/gbp.conf
[DEFAULT]
pristine-tar = True
cleaner = fakeroot debian/rules clean
[git-buildpackage]
export-dir = ../build-area/
[git-import-orig]
dch = False
filter = .svn
filter = .hg
filter = .bzr
filter = CVS
filter = debian/*
filter = */debian/*
filter-pristine-tar = True
[git-import-dsc]
filter = [
'CVS',
'.cvsignore',
'.hg',
'.hgignore'
'.bzr',
'.bzrignore',
'.gitignore'
]
