gbp: Convert an existing Debian package to gbp.
$ gbp import-dsc ${path-to-package-dsc}
try on your machine

The command "gbp import-dsc" is used in the Git-buildpackage (gbp) tool to import a Debian source package.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • "gbp": This is the command-line tool used to manage Debian source packages in a Git repository.
  • "import-dsc": This is a subcommand of the "gbp" tool used to import a Debian source package from a .dsc file.
  • "${path-to-package-dsc}": This is a placeholder for the actual path to the .dsc file of the package you want to import. You should replace it with the correct path to the .dsc file on your system.

By running this command with the correct path to the .dsc file, the "gbp import-dsc" command will import the Debian source package into your Git repository, allowing you to manage and build it in a Git-based workflow.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
