💖 dom-new-git-repo(1) — the girlies' guide to spinning up a fresh repo 💖

okay bestie, welcome to dom-new-git-repo, a little User Command from the dh-ocaml corner of the world. She's giving "make me a brand new Git repo, pls and thank u." Let's get into it. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

dom-new-git-repo — literally just creates a new Git repository in the pkg-ocaml-maint space. that's the whole job. slay. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

dom-new-git-repo name [tarball]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the vibe: this command creates a new git repository that belongs to the pkg-ocaml-maint project over on alioth.debian.org. and if you're like "bestie what even is pkg-ocaml-maint," it's a collaborative package maintenance project — like, a whole group chat of maintainers — and their shared mission is looking after packages related to the OCaml programming language. iconic behavior honestly. 🧚

Once the repository has been created, notifications get set up (we're talking IRC and the commit mailing list — the whole gossip network fr fr), and the changes that need to happen get pushed over to alioth. 🫶

Now listen, there's a special little twist: if you pass the option --notifications instead of a tarball name, and you're running the command from outside of a Git repository, then the only thing that happens is:

  • a new empty Git repository gets created (only if it doesn't already exist, no cap), and
  • notifications get set up.

that's it, that's the whole effect. lowkey efficient. ⭐

💜 OPTIONS 💜

  • name — the package name. yes, this one's required, she's the main character. 👑
  • tarball — the upstream tarball. optional, but she comes in clutch when you got one. 🍓

🌈 ENVIRONMENT 🌈

  • DOM_ALIOTH_USER — your Alioth username. that's the whole thing. ✨

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

  • dom-git-checkout(1)
