NAME
       dpt-upstreamvcs - add upstream Git repository as git remote upstreamvcs


SYNOPSIS
       dpt upstreamvcs [-g|-u]


DESCRIPTION
       dpt upstreamvcs adds the upstream Git repository as a git remote named upstreamvcs. The URL for the
       repository is read from debian/upstream/metadata's Repository field.

       In case debian/upstream/metadata doesn't exist, it is created with dpt-debian-upstream(1).

       In case a Git remote called upstream-repo exists, it is renamed to upstreamvcs.


OPTIONS
       -g  Don't create debian/upstream/metadata.

           Used   for   initial   cloning,  e.g.  with  mr  up:  We  want  the  upstream  repo  being  added  if
           debian/upstream/metadata exists.

           The letter g is used for historical  reasons  because  initially  this  option  only  suppressed  the
           automatic committing to the git repository.

       -u  Update  the  URL  of  the  upstreamvcs git remote.  The value is read from the same places as for the
           initial creation.

           -u implies -g, i.e. we also don't create debian/upstream/metadata on updates.

       dpt upstream-repo (the old name of this subcommand) is an alias for dpt upstreamvcs.
