## DESCRIPTION

**gbp create-remote-repo** creates a repository at a remote location via ssh and pushes the local repository into it. It then sets up remote branch tracking so you can use **gbp pull** to update your repository from there.

Before performing any action on the remote location, it will print the remote URL and ask for confirmation.

Note: By default, the remote repositories are created in the FCcollab-maintF\[0\] repository on FCgit.debian.orgF\[0\].

When invoked with FC**list**F\[0\] it lists the available remote config templates.

## OPTIONS

- FC**--color-scheme=**F\[0\]*COLOR\_SCHEME*

  Colors to use in output (when color is enabled). The format for COLOR\_SCHEME is '\<debug\>:\<info\>:\<warning\>:\<error\>'. Numerical values and color names are accepted, empty fields imply the default color. For example, FC**--git-color-scheme=**F\[0\]FC'cyan:34::'F\[0\] would show debug messages in cyan, info messages in blue and other messages in default (i.e. warning and error messages in red).

- FC**--debian-branch**F\[0\]=*branch\_name*

  The branch in the Git repository the Debian package is being developed on, default is *master*.

- FC**--upstream-branch**F\[0\]=*branch\_name*

  Whether to set up branch tracking for the debian, upstream and pristine-tar branches.

- FC**--\[no-\]bare**F\[0\]

  Whether the remote repository should be a bare repository (this is the default).

## CONFIGURATION FILES

Several FC*gbp.conf*F\[0\] files are parsed  to set defaults for the above command-line arguments. See the [**gbp.conf**(5)](/gbp.conf/5.md) manpage for details.
