NAME

       git-import-orig - Import an upstream source into a git repository

SYNOPSIS

       git-import-orig	 [   --verbose	]  [  --upstream-version=version  ]  [	--[no-]merge  ]  [  --upstream-branch=branch_name  ]  [  --debian-
       branch=branch_name ] [ --upstream-vcs-tag=tag_name ] [ --[no-]sign-tags ] [ --keyid=gpg-keyid ]	[  --upstream-tag=tag-format  ]  [  --fil-
       ter=pattern ] [ --[no-]pristine-tar ] [ --[no-]filter-pristine-tar ] [ --postimport=cmd ] [ --uscan ] upstream-source

DESCRIPTION

       git-import-orig imports upstream-source into the Git repository. upstream-source can either be a gzip or bzip2 compressed tar archive or an
       already unpacked source tree. If it is already of the form package-name_version.orig.tar.gz, the version information is read from the  tar-
       ball's filename otherwise it can be given on the command line via --upstream-version.

       The sources are placed on the upstream branch (default: upstream), tagged and merged onto the debian branch (default: master).

OPTIONS

       --upstream-version=version

       -uversion
	      The upstream version number

       --merge
	      Merge the upstream branch to the debian branch after import

       --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 package is being developed on, default is master. After importing the new sources on the
	      upstream branch, git-import-orig will try to merge the new version onto this branch.

       --upstream-vcs-tag=tag_name
	      Add tag_name as additional parent to the commit of the upstream tarball. Useful when upstream uses git and you want to link to  it's
	      revision history.

       --verbose

       -v     verbose execution

       --[no-]sign-tags
	      GPG sign all created tags

       --keyid=gpg-keyid
	      use this keyid for gpg signing tags

       --upstream-tag=tag-format
	      use this tag format when tagging upstream versions, default is upstream/%(versions)s

       --import-msg=msg-format
	      use this format string for the commit message when importing upstream versions, default is Imported Upstream version %(version)s

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

       --pristine-tar
	      generate pristine-tar delta file

       --filter-pristine-tar
	      if using a filter also filter the files out of the tarball passed to pristine tar

       --postimport=cmd
	      run cmd after the import.

       --uscan
	      Use uscan to fetch new upstream version.
