gbp pull [ --verbose ] [ --force ] [ --redo-pq ] [ --[no-]pristine-tar ] [ --ignore-branch ] [ --debian-branch=branch_name ] [ --upstream-branch=branch_name ] [ --depth=depth ]

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.

--force

force a branch update even if this results in a non fast forward update.

--redo-pq

also rebuild the corresponding patch-queue using gbp pq.

--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.

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.

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