This command is very useful when you want to maintain a branch with a clean history that has no unsigned or broken commits. For instance, you can import the head from a different repository from an automatic builder when you've verified that it worked. The new commit will have no parents or signatures from the autobuilder, and can be properly signed with the official key.

OPTIONS

The following options are understood:

-h, --help

Show help options and exit.

--src-repo=SRC-REPO

The (local) repository to pull the source branch from. Defaults to the destination repository.

--src-ref=SRC-REF

The branch to use as the source for the new commit. Defaults to the same as the destination ref, which is useful only if a different source repo has been specified.

--untrusted

The source repostory is not trusted, all objects are copied (not hardlinked) and all checksums are verified.

-s, --subject=SUBJECT

One line subject for the commit message. If not specified, will be taken from the source commit.

-b, --body=BODY

Full description for the commit message. If not specified, will be taken from the source commit.

--update-appstream

Run appstream-builder and to update the appstream branch after build.

--no-update-summary

Don't update the summary file after the new commit is added. This means the repository will not be useful for serving over http until build-repo-update has been run. This is useful is you want to do multiple repo operations before finally updating the summary.

--force

Create new commit even if the content didn't change from the existing branch head.

--gpg-sign=KEYID

Sign the commit with this GPG key. This option can be used multiple times.

--gpg-homedir=PATH
