GIT-UBUNTU-EXPORT-ORIG(1)

💖 GIT-UBUNTU-EXPORT-ORIG 💖

okay bestie, welcome to git-ubuntu-export-orig — it's part of the git-ubuntu suite, and no cap it's the one that hands you your orig tarballs 🎀

git-ubuntu-export-orig — export orig tarballs 🫶

git ubuntu export-orig [--dl-cache <dl_cache>] [--for-merge] [--no-
pristine-tar] [--no-lxd] [--commitish <commitish>] [-- ...]

so the whole vibe here is: this thing exports orig tarballs so that other tools can actually use them 💅

and the way it gets them? any tarballs get generated by pristine-tar if that's possible, or downloaded straight from Launchpad. that's the tea ☕

--dl-cache <dl_cache> — the path you wanna use for caching all those downloads from Launchpad 💾 by default, the downloads get cached inside the repository's GIT_DIR, periodt.
--for-merge — makes the tarballs come from Debian, which means they're suitable for Ubuntu merge uploads ✨
--no-pristine-tar — don't use pristine-tar when searching for orig tarballs 🙈 super useful when you're working around broken imports with missing pristine-tar data, iykyk.
--commitish <commitish> — the commitish in the Git repository to obtain the orig tarballs for 🎯 if you don't specify it, HEAD gets used.

ngl, --no-lxd shows up in the synopsis up there 👆 but it's not listed as an option down here. just noting it so you're not confused, bestie 🫠

git ubuntu export-orig exits with status 0 if tarballs are successfully extracted to the parent directory 🌈

git ubuntu export-orig exits with nonzero exit status on errors 😭

part of the git-ubuntu(1) suite 👑

Git-Ubuntu 0.4~ · 2017-10-26 — mwah, that's a wrap, go export those tarballs and slay 💖✨🎀🦋
