RPKG guide from Tito user
Since the beginning of the rpkg project, it was known as a client tool for DistGit. Times changed and a new era for rpkg is here. It was enhanced with project management features, so we can safely label it as a tito alternative.
A features review, pros and cons and user guide is a theme for a whole new article. In this short post, I, as a long-time tito user, want to show rpkg alternatives for the tito commands, that I frequently use.
For more information about the rpkg, please read the documentation.

Working with last tag
You may notice, that all tito build commands in the cheat sheet table have --test parameter. That’s because rpkg always works with the last commit. So how to build a package from the last tag? We need to checkout it first.
git checkout <tag>
rpkg local
