GBP-CLONE(1)

NAME
gbp-clone - Clone a repository from remote

SYNOPSIS

gbp clone [ --version ] [ --help ] [ --verbose ] [ --color=[auto|on|off] ] [ --color-scheme=COLOR_SCHEME ] [ --all ] [ --[no-]pristine-tar ] [ --debian-branch=branch_name ] [ --upstream-branch=branch_name ] [ --depth=depth ] [ --reference=repository ] remote_uri

DESCRIPTION

gbp clone clones a remote repository and sets up tracking branches for the debian, upstream and pristine-tar branches. This way you can easily update later using gbp pull.

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).

--all
    Track all branches, not only debian and upstream.

--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 creating shallow git clones.

--reference=repository
    Local repository to use as alternate instead of re-copying data from remote repository.

--pristine-tar
    Track pristine tar branch.

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.
