NAME

gbp-pq - Manage quilt patches on patch queue branches in git

SYNOPSIS

gbp-pq export | import | rebase | drop

DESCRIPTION

gbp-pq helps to manage quilt patches in Debian packages that are maintained with git-buildpackage. This is especially useful with packages using the 3.0 (quilt) source format. With gbp-pq you can maintain the quilt patches that should be applied to a package on a separate branch called patch-queue branch. So if your Debian package lifes on master the associated patch-queue branch will be called patch-queue/master.

See <URL:https://honk.sigxcpu.org/piki/development/debian_packages_in_git/> for example workflows.

OPTIONS

import
Create a patch queue branch from quilt patches in debian/patches/ that are listed in debian/patches/series.
export
Export the patches on the patch-queue branch associated to the current branch into a quilt patch series in debian/patches/ and update the series file.
rebase
Switch to the patch-queue branch associated to the current branch and rebase it against the current branch.
drop
Drop (delete) the patch queue associated to the current branch. So if you're on branch foo this would drop branch patch-queue/foo.
