DESCRIPTION

22       After setting up a directory as a Git repo, use tito to manage the tags
23       and builds. A simple workflow may look like:
24
25        1. Save user preferences as described in titorc(5)
26
27        2. Initialize a .tito directory
28
29        3. Test
30
31            1. Make changes to source
32
33            2. Use git to commit changes
34
35            3. Build: tito build --rpm --test
36
37        4. Finalize a release
38
39            1. Tag: tito tag
40
41            2. Push: git push && git push $ORIGIN $TAG
42
43            3. Build: tito build [OPTIONS]
44

OPTIONS

46   tito init
47       This will create a top-level metadata directory called ".tito/" and
48       commit it to git. This directory will store tito’s configuration and
49       package metadata on a per branch basis. It will be filtered out when
50       creating .tar.gz’s.
51
52           Note
53           Your spec file should list the source as %{name}-%{version}.tar.gz
54
55   tito tag [options]
56       By default, tito will tag by bumping the rpm version (i.e. we bump the
57       Z in X.Y.Z). If you’d prefer to bump the package release instead
58       (normally should just be used for changes to the spec file or patches
59       applied within it), you can change the tagger class in .tito/tito.props
60       to ReleaseTagger. This will affect all packages in this git branch; if
61       you’d prefer to do this on a per-package basis you can do so in a
62       package specific tito.props.
63
64       If you work in a OBS style git with a separate .changes file for the
65       changelog, change the tagger class to tito.susetagger.SUSETagger. The
66       SUSETagger is based on the VersionTagger.
67
68       -h, --help
69           show this help message and exit
70
71       --debug
72           print debug messages (can be also set using DEBUG environment
73           variable)
74
75       --offline
76           do not attempt any remote communication (avoid using this please)
77
78       -o OUTPUTDIR, --output=OUTPUTDIR
79           Write temp files, tarballs, and RPMs to OUTPUTDIR. Create
80           sub-directories as needed by rpmbuild(8). (default /tmp/tito)
81
82       --tag-release
83           Deprecated, no longer required.
84
85       --keep-version
86           Use spec file version/release exactly as specified in spec file to
87           tag package.
88
89       --use-version=USE_VERSION
90           Update the spec file with the specified version.
91

93           Update the spec file with the specified release.
94
95       --no-auto-changelog
96           Don’t automatically create a changelog entry for this tag if none
97           is found

99       --accept-auto-changelog
100           Automatically accept the generated changelog.
101
102       --auto-changelog-message=MESSAGE
103           Use MESSAGE as the default changelog message for new packages
104
105       --changelog=MESSAGE
106           Use MESSAGE as the changelog when tagging, this can be specified
107           every time a package is tagged. Useful when needing to generate
108           custom changelogs. This will override the auto generated changelog.
109
110       -u, --undo
111           Undo the most recent (un-pushed) tag.
112
113           Note
114           Tito will create automatic changelog from git commits. Unless you
115           specify one of auto options, tito will open text editor and allow
116           you to edit the text. Editor is by default. This can be changes by
117           environment variable EDITOR.

263

OFFLINE

265       Offline lets you potentially do builds you can’t reproduce, normally we
266       check that the tag you’re building exists in the remote repo. If it
267       hasn’t been pushed, it’s quite easy to do a build that will result in a
268       checksum that is no longer the same. This is something you should try
269       to avoid.
270

EXAMPLES

272       Build and install a test package from the latest code in current git
273       HEAD
274           tito build --rpm --test -i
275
276       Overriding the default builder to build via mock instead
277           tito build --builder mock --arg mock=fedora-15-x86_64 --rpm
