💖 gitdpkgname(1) — GNU Interactive Tools' lil helper script 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the gitdpkgname(1) page, aka the tiniest little glow-up gremlin in the GNU Interactive Tools family. she's small. she's iconic. she does exactly one (1) job and she does it flawlessly. periodt. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

gitdpkgname — GNU Interactive Tools — gitdpkgname helper script 🎀

🦋 SYNTAX 🦋

gitdpkgname [file...]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so like, gitdpkgname is a very small script. like, very. she is not here to be a whole thing, she's here to be a supporting character with main character energy. 💅

she gets called by gitfm(1) whenever you use any of the ^C^D commands that expect a debian packagename. that's the whole gig. that's the assignment. and she ate.

here's the tea on how she works:

• for each argument that ends in .deb, gitdpkgname queries the named package for its name and prints it. yes literally, she interrogates the .deb and it hands over the name. 🕵️♀️
• all other arguments are printed unchanged. no notes, no edits, no drama. she passes them through exactly as they came in. 🫶

and why does this matter, you ask? because this enables commands (e.g. ^C^DL) that expect a packagename to be given a .deb file, and the packagename will be extracted automatically. so you can just point at the file and the vibes handle the rest. no cap. 🔥
