💖 dpt-push(1) — the push-it-to-origin glow-up 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the Debian Perl packaging Tools manual set, and it's literally just the thing that shoves your refs up to the origin Git remote. no cap. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

dpt-push — push relevant packaging refs to origin Git remote

like. that's the whole job. push the relevants. to origin. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

dpt push [ git argument... ]

To be run from packaging working directory.

okay so world's tiniest warning: run this from your packaging working directory. if you're vibing in the wrong dir this is not gonna do the thing. 🫶

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

dpt push takes the following refs and pushes them all up to the "origin" remote, one big send:

  • the "master" branch (or whatever is set to debian-branch in gbp.conf) 🌟
  • the "upstream" branch (or whatever is set to upstream-branch in gbp.conf) 🌈
  • the "pristine-tar" branch 🧚
  • tags named "debian/*" (or whatever is set to debian-tag in gbp.conf) 🎀
  • tags named "upstream/*" (or whatever is set to upstream-tag in gbp.conf) 💜
  • all tags, if the package's source format is "3.0 (native)" 🔥

so yeah bestie, it's not just "git push and pray" — it goes and finds the actually-relevant branch-and-tag situation, respects your gbp.conf overrides if you have them, and then sends the whole squad. main character energy for your refs, fr fr. ✨

the gbp.conf-aware bits are doing the most (affectionate), because if you've renamed your branches or retagged your stuff, dpt push already knows and doesn't push the wrong thing. iykyk. 😭
