[repository]
gbp pull updates the debian, upstream
and pristine-tar branches from remote repositories in one go. It
checks if the update is safe (would result in a fast-forward merge)
and aborts otherwise.
If given on the command line the changes are fetched from the
given repository otherwise the default for repository is read from
the remote configuration for each branch (in git's
configuration).
- --version
- Print version of the program, i.e. version of the git-buildpackage
suite
- -v, --verbose
- Verbose execution
- -h, --help
- Print help and exit
- --color=[auto|on|off]
- Whether to use colored output.
- --color-scheme=COLOR_SCHEME
- Colors to use in output (when color is enabled). The format for
COLOR_SCHEME is
'<debug>:<info>:<warning>:<error>'. Numerical
values and color names are accepted, empty fields imply the default color.
For example, --git-color-scheme='cyan:34::' would show debug
messages in cyan, info messages in blue and other messages in default
(i.e. warning and error messages in red).
- --force
- Force a branch update even if this results in a non fast forward
update.
Warning
Forcing a branch update 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.
- --ignore-branch
- Don't care if we're on a branch or in detached head state.
- --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.
- --track-missing
- If a branch is missing in the local repository try to fetch it from the
remote side and (if it exists) fetch it and set up branch tracking for it.
This ensures that branches that are added at a later point to the remote
side (e.g. pristine-tar) are picked up automatically. Note that
it's not an error for the branch to not exist on the remote side.
- --depth=depth
- Git history depth, for deepening shallow git clones.
- --pristine-tar
- Whether to update the pristine-tar branch too.
When gbp pull finishes, it indicates success or
failure with its exit code:
- 0
- Success.
- 1
- An error occurred during the pull, see the printed error message for
details.
- 2
- At least one branch couldn't be fast forwarded.
Several gbp.conf files are parsed to set defaults for the
above command-line arguments. See the gbp.conf(5) manpage for
details.
