NAME

       gbp-pull - Safely update a repository from remote

SYNOPSIS

       gbp pull [ --verbose ] [ --force ] [ --redo-pq ] [ --[no-]pristine-tar ] [ --ignore-branch
       ] [ --debian-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
              force a branch update even if this results in a non fast forward update.

              Warning: Forcing a branch update makes you lose your modifications.

       --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.

       --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.
