💅 dpt-prepare(1) — bestie edition 🎀

okay so this is a page from the Debian Perl packaging Tools manual, section 1 (you know, the "type it in your shell" section). It's called dpt-prepare and it's here to get you and your source dir ready before you start messing with a package. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

dpt-prepare — get yourself and a source directory all prepped and cute before you go working on a package 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

dpt prepare

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So here's the vibe: dpt prepare runs a couple of commands inside the checked-out directory of a source package. ✨

And like… why? Because they're useful, bestie. Useful either for the person doing the work or for the code itself. It's giving preparation. It's giving setting-the-stage. It's the little pre-game ritual you do before you actually start working on the package. 👑

No cap, that's literally the whole job.

🎀 CONFIGURATION, OPTIONS, & PARAMETERS 🎀

None (yet). 🙈

not me showing up with zero flags… she's minimal, she's mysterious, she takes no arguments. (yet!! watch this space, iykyk 💀)
