--version

Print version of the program, i.e. version of the git-buildpackage suite

-v, --verbose

Verbose execution

-h, --help

--color=[auto|on|off]

Whether to use colored output.

--color-scheme=COLOR_SCHEME

Colors to use in output (when color is enabled). The format for COLOR_SCHEME is '<debug>:<info>:<warning>:<error>'. Numerical values and color names are accepted, empty fields imply the default color. For example, --git-color-scheme='cyan:34::' would show debug messages in cyan, info messages in blue and other messages in default (i.e. warning and error messages in red).

--upstream-branch=branch_name

The branch in the Git repository the upstream sources are put onto. Default is upstream.

--debian-branch=branch_name

The branch in the Git repository the debian sources are put onto. Default is master.

--[no-]sign-tags

GPG sign all created tags

--keyid=gpg-keyid

Use this keyid for gpg signing tags.

--debian-tag=tag-format

Use this tag format when tagging Debian™ versions, default is debian/%(version)s.

--upstream-tag=tag-format

Use this tag format when tagging upstream versions, default is upstream/%(version)s.

--upstream-vcs-tag=tag-format

Add tag-format as additional parent to the commit of the upstream tarball. Useful when upstream uses git and you want to link to its revision history. The tag-format can be a pattern similar to what --upstream-tag supports.

The default is to not add upstream tags as additional parents since this requires additional setup to have the upstream sources in the same repository.

--skip-debian-tag

Don't create Debian™ tag after importing the Debian™ patch. This can be useful if you already created a package but want to further work on it after importing it into git.

--filter=pattern

Filter out files glob-matching pattern from upstream tarballs and the debian tarball of 3.0(quilt) packages. Note that the .diff.gz of 1.0 source format packages is currently not filtered.

This option can be given multiple times.

--pristine-tar

Generate pristine-tar delta file.

--allow-unauthenticated

Whether to skip signature verification on downloads. Passed on verbatim to dget and apt-get respectively. Use with care.

--allow-same-version

Allow one to import a package with the same debian version.

--author-is-committer

When importing the Debian™ patch, use the author identity as committer identity.

--author-date-is-committer-date

When importing the Debian™ patch, use the author date as committer date.

--[no-]create-missing-branches

Create upstream and debian branch if missing.

--repo-user=[GIT|DEBIAN]

When set to DEBIAN use the DEBFULLNAME environment variable to set the user.name Git configuration otherwise use Git's defaults. Only affects newly created repos.

--repo-email=[GIT|DEBIAN]

When set to DEBIAN use the DEBEMAIL environment variable to set the user.email Git configuration otherwise use Git's defaults. Only affects newly created repos.
