NAME
       gbp-pull - Safely update a repository from remote

SYNOPSIS
       gbp-pull  [ --verbose ] [ --force ] [ --redo-pq ] [ --[no-]pristine-tar ] [ --debian-branch=branch_name ] [ --upstream-branch=branch_name ]
       [ --depth=depth ]

DESCRIPTION
       gbp-pull updates the debian, upstream and pristine-tar branches from a remote repository in one go. It checks if the update is safe  (would
       result in a fast-forward merge) and aborts otherwise.

OPTIONS
       --force
	      force a branch update even if this results in a non fast forward update.

	      Warning: Forcing a branch updates makes you lose your modifications.

       --redo-pq
	      also rebuild the corresponding patch-queue using gbp-pq.

	      Warning: This drops the patch-queue branch if it exists.

       --debian-branch=branch_name
	      The branch in the Git repository the Debian package is being developed on, default is master.

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

       --depth=depth
	      Git history depth, for deepening shallow git clones.

       --verbose

       -v     verbose execution

       --pristine-tar
	      Whether to update the pristine-tar branch too.

EXIT CODES
       When gbp-pull finishes it indicates success or failure with it's exit code:

       0      Success.

       1      An error occured during the pull, see the printed error message for details.

       2      At least one branch couldn't be fast forwarded.

CONFIGURATION FILES
       Several	gbp.conf  files  are  parsed  to  set defaults for the above commandline arguments. See the [XRef to GBP.MAN.GBP.CONF] manpage for
       details.
