--version

--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).

--vendor=VENDOR

Distribution vendor name.

--upstream-branch=BRANCH-NAME

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

--packaging-branch=BRANCH-NAME

The branch in the Git repository the packaging files are put onto. Default is master.

--[no-]sign-tags

GPG sign all created tags.

--keyid=GPG-KEYID

Use this keyid for gpg signing tags.

--packaging-tag=TAG-FORMAT

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

--skip-packaging-tag

Do not create packaging tag after importing the packaging files.

--upstream-tag=TAG-FORMAT

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

--upstream-vcs-tag=TAG-NAME

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

--git-packaging-dir=DIRECTORY

Subdirectory where to put the RPM packaging files.

--filter=PATTERN

Filter out files glob-matching pattern. Can be given multiple times.

--pristine-tar

Generate pristine-tar delta file.

--allow-same-version

Allow one to re-import a package with an already existing version. This will not re-import the upstream sources - only packaging files will be re-imported.

--author-is-committer

Use the author identity as the committer when importing upstream sources and packaging files.

--[no-]create-missing-branches

Create missing upstream and/or packaging branch if missing.

--orphan-packaging

Import packaging files into an orphan branch that will not be based on the upstream branch. Useful if you want to maintain (non-native) package using the 'orphan-packaging' model. This option have no effect if --native is used.

--native

Treat the package as native package. No separate upstream branch or upstream tags will be created.

--repo-user=[GIT|DEBIAN]

--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.
