gbp-pull

Safely update a repository from remote

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 ]

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.

Whether to use colored output.
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 a branch update even if this results in a non fast forward update.

Warning: Forcing a branch update makes you lose your modifications.
also rebuild the corresponding patch-queue using gbp pq.

Warning: This drops the patch-queue branch if it exists.
Don't care if we're on a branch or in detached head state.
The branch in the Git repository the Debian package is being developed on, default is master.
The branch in the Git repository the upstream sources are put onto. Default is upstream.
Git history depth, for deepening shallow git clones.
Whether to update the pristine-tar branch too.

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.

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