GBP.CONF(5)

NAME
gbp.conf - Gbp configuration file

SYNOPSIS

/etc/git-buildpackage/gbp.conf
    system wide

~/.gbp.conf
    per user

.gbp.conf
    per branch, can be published with the repository (deprecated)

debian/gbp.conf
    per branch, can be published with the repository

.git/gbp.conf
    per repository

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'
        ]
