✨ NAME ✨

bk fast‐import — import a new repository using git’s fast‐export format. 🦋

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

bk fast‐import [options] [repo]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

bk fast‐import creates a new repository from a stream on data on stdin, and that stream follows the data format expected by git’s fast‐import command. literally feed it the stream and let it cook 🔥

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• −q — do not generate any output unless an error has occurred. 🤫 quiet queen behavior
• −v — generate verbose output printing a message before each file is imported. 🗣️
• −iglob — only include pathnames matching this ’glob’ in the resulting repository. 🎯
• −xglob — never include pathnames matching this ’glob’ in the resulting repository. 🚫

🍓 EXAMPLES 🍓

the commands to import a git repository into bitkeeper would look like this, bestie:

$ rm ‐rf bk‐repo
$ git ‐C git‐repo fast‐export master | bk fast‐import bk‐repo

⭐ EXIT STATUS ⭐

bk fast‐import returns exit status 0 if the import completed successfuly. Non-zero if there was an error. so 0 is the slay outcome, non-zero is the not me crying outcome 😭
