tito - Man Page

This will create a top-level metadata directory called ".tito/" and commit it to git. This directory will store tito’s configuration and package metadata on a per branch basis. It will be filtered out when creating .tar.gz’s.

By default, tito will tag by bumping the rpm version (i.e. we bump the Z in X.Y.Z). If you’d prefer to bump the package release instead (normally should just be used for changes to the spec file or patches applied within it), you can change the tagger class in .tito/tito.props to ReleaseTagger. This will affect all packages in this git branch; if you’d prefer to do this on a per-package basis you can do so in a package specific tito.props.

If you work in a OBS style git with a separate .changes file for the changelog, change the tagger class to tito.susetagger.SUSETagger. The SUSETagger is based on the VersionTagger.
