Thanks to all who replied.
This is my debian/watch file
(https://salsa.debian.org/go-team/packages/golang-github-tonistiigi-fsutil/-/blob/debian/sid/debian/watch)
version=4
opts="mode=git, pgpmode=none" \
https://github.com/tonistiigi/fsutil.git \
HEAD debian
but when I ran it, I got the following error:
gbp:error: Uscan failed: Filename pattern missing version delimiters
() without filenamemangle
I can't quite interpret what it is telling me, and I didn't find much
on the Internet that fix it.
Searching through
https://people.debian.org/~osamu/uscan.html#direct-access-to-the-git-repository
for KW "Filename", I didn't find much good explanation either.
