Name

gbp-clone -- Clone a repository from remote

Synopsis

gbp-clone [--verbose] [--all] [--[no-]pristine-tar] [--debian-branch=branch_name | --packaging-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`.
`--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 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 gbp.conf(5) manpage for details.
