Hello w/git

For bonus points, use git-buildpackage to build GNU Hello.

  1. To the package dir

    cd back to the directory you used to package hello.

  2. Initialize the repository

    Mind you, it's a repository in the git sense:

    git init

  3. Add the contents of the unpacked source package

    git add $( find -type f -not \( -path ./debian/\* -o -path ./.git/\* \) )

  4. Commit that

    git commit -m "initial commit"

  5. Add the debian branch

    git branch debian
    git checkout debian

  6. Add the files and commit

    git add $(find debian -type f)
    git commit -m"added ./debian"

  7. Build under git control

    DIST=precise git-buildpackage
