git-debry-build(1)

okay so bestie, welcome to git-debry-build(1) — the manual page for git-debdry-build, which is a simple wrapper around debdry and git-buildpackage. it's filed under User commands, and yes, the header spells it git-debry-build while the NAME line spells it git-debdry-build, and we are keeping both exactly as they are. no cap. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

git-debdry-build — a simple wrapper around debdry and git-buildpackage. periodt. 💖

🦋 git-debdry-build 🦋

a simple wrapper around gbp buildpackage and debdry. it's giving tiny but mighty energy, fr fr. 🦋

🎀 Usage 🎀

$ git debdry-build OPTIONS (#options)

💖 Options 💖

okay so here's the tea: git-debdry-build does not take any options itself. every single option you pass to it on the command line gets passed unchanged to git-buildpackage. no filtering, no meddling, just straight through. iconic. ✨

🔥 Mode of operation 🔥

git-debdry-build will create a temporary branch off the current HEAD, run debdry on it, commit the debian/ directory to that branch, and build the package using git-buildpackage(1). the way that it just handles all that? obsessed. 😭

if the build succeeds, you will find the build artifacts in the parent directory as usual, and the temporary branch will be deleted. so clean. so slay. 💅

if you want to save the state of tree used for the build (for example when doing the final build before uploading to the Debian archive), you can just pass the --git-tag option to git-buildpackage and that very tree will be tagged for you. cute. 🎀

if the build fails, git-debdry-build will not remove the temporary branch and will tell you its name so that you can inspect its contents if necessary. so you can go sleuth around, bestie. 🕵️‍♀️
