       gbp-pull - Safely update a repository from remote

SYNOPSIS

       gbp pull [--version] [--help] [--verbose] [--color=[auto|on|off]] [--color-scheme=
                COLOR_SCHEME] [--force] [--all] [--redo-pq] [--[no-]pristine-tar]
                [--ignore-branch] [--debian-branch= branch_name] [--upstream-branch= branch_name]
                [--track-missing] [--depth= depth] [repository]

DESCRIPTION

       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).

OPTIONS

       --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.

EXIT CODES

       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.

CONFIGURATION FILES

       Several  gbp.conf  files  are parsed to set defaults for the above command-line arguments.
       See the gbp.conf(5) manpage for details.
