PACKIT-CREATE-UPDATE(1)

💅 PACKIT-CREATE-UPDATE — the girlies are shipping updates

okay so bestie, welcome to packit-create-update, a page from the packit create-update Manual 🎀 — literally the manual for making bodhi updates and I'm obsessed.

---

✨ NAME ✨

packit-create-update — create a bodhi update for the selected... (yes, the original description trails off with those three dots and honestly? mysterious. iconic. we respect it 💅)

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

packit create-update [OPTIONS] [PATH_OR_URL]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Create a bodhi update for the selected upstream project. That's the whole vibe. 🌈

If you're not authenticated with the bodhi server, here's what you do, no cap: go in your browser to the URL that bodhi-client gives you, and then paste the code=XX... into the terminal when it asks you. That's it, that's the ritual ✨

But wait, there's a shortcut 👑 — if you set fas_user and kerberos_realm in your ~/.config/packit.yaml, and you've got an active Kerberos TGT, you get authenticated automatically. No prompts, no drama. Otherwise? You're following the prompt like everybody else, bestie. 🫶

The PATH_OR_URL argument is either a local path or a URL pointing at the upstream git repository. Don't feel like passing one? It defaults to the current working directory. She's low maintenance like that. 💖

🔥 OPTIONS 🔥

• --dist-git-branch TEXT — a comma separated list of the target branches in dist-git where you wanna create the bodhi update. If you say nothing, it defaults to the repo's default branch. 🎀
• --dist-git-path TEXT — path to the dist-git repo you wanna work in. If you don't give one, it just clones the repo into a temporary directory instead. ✨
• --koji-build TEXT — a Koji build (NVR) to add to the bodhi update. You can pass this one multiple times if you've got more than one build, go off 💅
• --update-notes TEXT — the bodhi update notes. Say what you gotta say. 📝
• --update-type [security|bugfix|enhancement|newpackage] — the type of the bodhi update. Pick one of those four, that's the whole menu. 🍓
• -b, --resolve-bug TEXT — the Bugzilla IDs that are resolved with the update, like rhbz#1234. 🐛
• -p, --package TEXT — the package to update, in case there's more than one available (monorepo configuration girlies, I see you 👀). Use it multiple times to select multiple packages. Defaults to all the packages listed inside the config. 💜

ngl bestie, if you're not sure which package or branch you want, just let the defaults do their thing. She's got you. 🧚
