.B dgit
allows you to treat the Debian archive as if it were a git
repository.
+Conversely,
+it allows Debian to publish the source of its packages
+as git branches, in a format which is directly useable
+by ordinary people.
This is the command line reference.
Please read the tutorial(s):

.B dgit clean
Cleans the current working tree (according to the --clean= option in
debian/changelog and the .dsc, which must agree. If the command line
specifies a suite then that must match too.
.TP
+\fBdgit push-source\fR [\fIsuite\fP]
+Without \fB-C\fR, builds a source package and dgit pushes it. Saying
+\fBdgit push-source\fR is like saying "update the source code in the
+archive to match my git HEAD, and let the autobuilders do the rest."
+
+With \fB-C\fR, performs a dgit push, additionally ensuring that no
+binary packages are uploaded.

\fBdgit rpush\fR \fIbuild-host\fR\fB:\fR\fIbuild-dir\fR [\fIpush args...\fR]
Pushes the contents of the specified directory on a remote machine.
This is like running dgit push on build-host with build-dir as the
.B dgit setup-new-tree
Configure the current working tree the way that dgit clone would have
set it up. Like running
-.B dgit setup-useremail
-and
+.BR "dgit setup-useremail" ,
.B setup-mergechangelogs
+and
+.B setup-gitattributes
(but only does each thing if dgit is configured to do it automatically).
You can use these in any git repository, not just ones used with
the other dgit operations.
which uses
.BR dpkg-mergechangelogs .
.TP
+.B dgit setup-gitattributes
+Set up the working tree's
+.B .git/info/attributes
+to disable all transforming attributes for all files.
+This is done by defining a macro attribute
+.B dgit-defuse-attrs
+and applying it to
+.BR * .
+For why, see
+.B GITATTRIBUTES
+in
+.BR dgit(7) .
+
+(If there is already a macro attribute line
+.B [attr]dgit-defuse-attrs
+in .git/info/attributes
+(whatever its effects),
+this operation does nothing further.
+This fact can be used to defeat or partially defeat
+dgit setup-gitattributes
+and hence
+dgit setup-new-tree.)
+.TP
.B dgit quilt-fixup
`3.0 (quilt)' format source packages need changes representing not
only in-tree but also as patches in debian/patches. dgit quilt-fixup
Prints the url used by dgit clone-dgit-repos-server.
This is hopefully suitable for use as a git remote url.
It may not be useable in a browser.
+.TP
+.BI "dgit print-dpkg-source-ignores"
+Prints the -i and -I arguments which must be passed to dpkg-souce
+to cause it to exclude exactly the .git diredcory
+and nothing else.
+The separate arguments are unquoted, separated by spaces,
+and do not contain spaces.

push will still ensure that the .dsc you upload and the git tree
you push are identical, so this option won't make broken pushes.)
.TP
-.BR --overwrite =\fIprevious-version\fR
+.BR --overwrite [=\fIprevious-version\fR]
Declare that even though your git branch is not a descendant
of the version in the archive
according to the revision history,
by those in charge of the distro,
this option may prevent that rewrite from being effective.
Also,
-using it can mean that
+it can mean that
dgit fails to find necessary git commits.
.TP
.BR --dgit-view-save= \fIbranch\fR|\fIref\fR
Debian, use this when you are making a renewed upload of an entirely
new source package whose previous version was not accepted for release
from NEW because of problems with copyright or redistributibility.
+
+In split view quilt modes,
+this also prevents the construction by dgit of a pseudomerge
+to make the dgit view fast forwarding.
+Normally only one of
+--overwrite (which creates a suitable pseudomerge)
+and
+--deliberately-not-fast-forward
+(which suppresses the pseudomerge and the fast forward checks)
+should be needed;
+--overwrite is usually better.
.TP
.BR --deliberately-include-questionable-history
Declare that you are deliberately including, in the git history of
.B \-\-no-rm-old-changes
can be used to override a previous \-\-rm-old-changes
or the .rm-old-changes configuration setting.
+
+Note that \fBdgit push-source\fR will always find the right .changes,
+regardless of this option.
.TP
.BI --build-products-dir= directory
Specifies where to find the built files to be uploaded.
in case dgit is confused.
(They might also be useful for testing error cases.)
.TP
-.B --import-dsc-with-dgit-field
+.B --force-import-dsc-with-dgit-field
Tell dgit import-dsc to treat a .dsc with a Dgit field
like one without it.
The result is a fresh import,
debian/changelog. True by default. Ignored for dgit
setup-mergechangelogs, which does it anyway.
.TP
+.BI dgit-distro. distro .setup-gitattributes
+Whether to configure .git/info/attributes
+to suppress checkin/checkout file content transformations
+in new git trees.
+True by default. Ignored for dgit setup-gitattributes, which does it anyway.
