## DESCRIPTION

&gbp-import-dsc; imports a &debian; source package into a &git; repository, notes the package version in the commit logs, and commits the change. All information, including package name, version, &debian; modifications and upstream source, is automatically detected from the source package. After import the repository can be used with the other &gbp; tools.

If the command is run from within an existing &git; repository, it will import into it; if not, a new repository named as the Debian source package is created. You can override the location of the new repository by specifying the optional `target` argument.

When given a `URL` &gbp-import-dsc; will download the source package prior to importing it. &dget; is used for all schemes except for the special scheme `apt:///` which uses &apt-get; (and therefore needs `deb-src` entries in your `/etc/apt/sources.list`). The later can be abbreviated by using the pseudo URL `apt:`.

## OPTIONS

&man.common.options.description;

`--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`.

`--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.

  &git; will subtly misbehave if the committer date of a commit is not later than or equal to all its parents.

`--[no-]create-missing-branches`

- Create upstream and debian branch if missing.

`--repo-user=``[GIT|DEBIAN]`

- When set to `DEBIAN` use the `DEBUSER` 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.

## EXAMPLES

Download and import a source package from a URL:

          &gbp-import-dsc; http://http.debian.net/debian/pool/main/h/hello/hello_2.10-1.dsc

Download and import a source package via `apt-get source` from unstable:

          &gbp-import-dsc; apt:hello/sid

Import a source package in the local file system:

          &gbp-import-dsc; ../hello_2.10-1.dsc
