NAME

       flatpak-build-commit-from - Create new commits based on existing one (possibly from another repository)

SYNOPSIS

       flatpak build-commit-from [OPTION...] DST-REPO DST-REF...

DESCRIPTION

       Creates new commits on the DST-REF branch in the DST-REPO, with the contents (and most of the metadata)
       taken from another branch, either from another repo, or from another branch in the same repository.

       The collection ID set on DST-REPO (if set) will be used for the newly created commits.

       This command is very useful when you want to maintain a branch with a clean history that has no unsigned
       or broken commits. For instance, you can import the head from a different repository from an automatic
       builder when you've verified that it worked. The new commit will have no parents or signatures from the
       autobuilder, and can be properly signed with the official key.

       Any deltas that affect the original commit and that match parent commits in the destination repository
       are copied and rewritten for the new commit id.

OPTIONS

       The following options are understood:

       -h, --help
           Show help options and exit.

       --src-repo=SRC-REPO
           The (local) repository to pull the source branch from. Defaults to the destination repository.

       --src-ref=SRC-REF
           The branch to use as the source for the new commit. Defaults to the same as the destination ref,
           which is useful only if a different source repo has been specified.

       --untrusted
           The source repostory is not trusted, all objects are copied (not hardlinked) and all checksums are
           verified.

       -s, --subject=SUBJECT
           One line subject for the commit message. If not specified, will be taken from the source commit.

       -b, --body=BODY
           Full description for the commit message. If not specified, will be taken from the source commit.

       --update-appstream
           Update the appstream branch after the build.

       --no-update-summary
           Don't update the summary file after the new commit is added. This means the repository will not be
           useful for serving over http until build-update-repo has been run. This is useful is you want to do
           multiple repo operations before finally updating the summary.

       --force
           Create new commit even if the content didn't change from the existing branch head.

       --disable-fsync
           Don't fsync when writing to the repository. This can result in data loss in exceptional situations,
           but can improve performance when working with temporary or test repositories.

       --gpg-sign=KEYID
           Sign the commit with this GPG key. This option can be used multiple times.

       --gpg-homedir=PATH
           GPG Homedir to use when looking for keyrings

       -v, --verbose
           Print debug information during command processing.

       --ostree-verbose
           Print OSTree debug information during command processing.

EXAMPLES

       To revert a commit to the commit before:

       $ flatpak build-commit-from --timestamp=NOW --src-ref=app/org.gnome.gedit/x86_64/master^ repo
       app/org.gnome.gedit/x86_64/master
