Welcome to git-buildpackage, a system that integrates the Debian package build system with Git.


Repository Layout

Since Git knows about branches (and in fact handles them very well) the git repository usually looks like: a so called master branch (the default branch) holds your current development work. Another branch called upstream holds the upstream sources. Other branches like nmu or dfsg_free might help with certain kinds of packages. Git-Buildpackage currently only works with your local git-repository, in order to publish your changes simply use git-push.
