NAME

       gbp-pull - Safely update a repository from remote

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

       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.

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.

       --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.

       --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.
