💖 NAME 💖

github-debian-upstream — bestie's fave lil tool, and yeah it's literally just called github-debian-upstream 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

github-debian-upstream

no flags, no args, no drama. you just run it 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so here's the tea 🍓 — you literally just launch github-debian-upstream inside a source Debian directory. that's it. that's the whole vibe.

and if debian/control or debian/copyright happens to contain a valid GitHub link, this tool will generate a debian/upstream/metadata file for you. iconic behavior, no cap ✨

it also adds the file automatically using git add and shows you the result — so you can peep it, then modify it however you want. main character editing rights are 100% yours 👑

not me reminding you: don't forget to launch a git commit 😭 like genuinely, don't forget, or your gorgeous new metadata file just sits there unstaged in the void 💀
