DESCRIPTION

       The  gbp.conf  provides  default global options and specific options for gbp commands. All
       have the same format and are parsed in the above  order.  The  file  consists  of  several
       sections,  one  for  each  command.  Comments start with a hash sign (#). The generic file
       syntax is:

           [DEFAULT]
           # This is section for global settings. Affects all commands
           key = value

           [<command>]
           # Specific sections for each command, like gbp buildpackage
           key = value

           [remote-config <name>]
           # Specific sections for a remote configuration. This can be used several
           # times to set up remote configuration for gbp-create-remote-repo
           key = value

       For backwards compatibility sections starting with git- or gbp- are still supported.

       key=value pairs of the command  sections  reflect  the  command  line  options  and  their
       settings.   For   example   gbp-buildpackage(1)   manualpage  contains  the  --git-export-
       dir=diirectory option which can be turned into configuration file setting by dropping  the
       --git prefix with:

           [buildpackage]
           export-dir = directory

       Notice  that  some  option are actually repeatable, or take Python lists.  For example the
       gbp-import-orig(1) commmand has the --filter=pattern option which can  be  truned  into  a
       configuration file option like this:

           [import-orig]
           filter = .svn
           filter = .hg

       An alternative way is to write it using Python list syntax:

           [import-orig]
           filter = [ '.svn', '.hg' ]

       Boolean  options  can  be  either  True  or False. For example gbp-import-orig(1); has the
       --pristine-tar and --no-pristine-tar options which translate to:

           [import-orig]
           pristine-tar = True

       and

           [import-orig]
           pristine-tar = False

       respectively.

              Note: To see the current set of values that would  be  applied  after  parsing  the
              configuration files run the command with --help and check it's output.

              Note: gbp import-dscs and git-pbuilder can't be configured via gbp.conf.

       gbp-create-remote-repo(1) can additionally parse remote site configurations from gbp.conf.
       For example a configration like:

       [remote-config pkg-libvirt]
       # Location of the repository
       remote-url-pattern = ssh://git.debian.org/git/pkg-libvirt/%(pkg)s
       # Template dir to passed to git-init
       template-dir = /srv/alioth.debian.org/chroot/home/groups/pkg-libvirt/git-template

       Can be used to create remote repositories for the pkg-libvirt project using:

       gbp-create-remote-repo --remote-config=pkg-libvirt

       This can be useful if you're often creating new remote repositores for different projects.

EXAMPLES

       An example set up for packaging work:

        # $HOME/gbp.conf

        [DEFAULT]
        pristine-tar = True
        cleaner = fakeroot debian/rules clean

        [buildpackage]
        export-dir  = ../build-area/

        [import-orig]
        dch = False
        filter = .svn
        filter = .hg
        filter = .bzr
        filter = CVS
        filter = debian/*
        filter = */debian/*
        filter-pristine-tar = True

        [import-dsc]
        filter = [
               'CVS',
               '.cvsignore',
               '.hg',
               '.hgignore'
               '.bzr',
               '.bzrignore',
               '.gitignore'
               ]
