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.
