💖 DOM-GIT-CHECKOUT 💖

ok so bestie, this is a User Commands page, and it's giving "let me go grab that repo for you" energy. sit down, grab a boba, we're doing this 🧋✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

dom-git-checkout — check out the Git repository of a pkg-ocaml-maint package 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

dom-git-checkout pkg_name

that's it. one argument. she's low maintenance, we love her 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So basically: this little icon clones the git repository of a package that belongs to the pkg-ocaml-maint project over on alioth.debian.org. And in case you were wondering what that even is — pkg-ocaml-maint is a collaborative package maintenance project, aimed at maintaining packages related to the OCaml programming language. yes, the good stuff. 🐫✨

The package you wanna check out? You pass it in as an argument, and you use the source package name for it. not the binary name, not a nickname, the source package name. periodt. 💀

Once she's done cloning the remote repository, remote tracking also gets set up for the upstream and pristine-tar branches. so you're fully tracked, fully ready, no extra steps. ate. 👑

By default, the SSH method is what's used to clone the package's repository from git.debian.org. And listen — you may specify a username in your SSH's configuration file. iykyk. 🎀

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • --no-ssh — Use the git protocol instead of the git+ssh protocol. vibe switch, your call bestie 💫
  • pkg_name — The name of the (source) package to checkout. yep, that's the one. 🌷
