Here's a workaround to start syncing folders on Windows right now. It's a bit command line heavy, so you might need to set this up for your users. But I would much rather do this than use some other syncing solution and then have to migrate.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(1) Create a remote server git annex repository with the assistant on Linux or Mac.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(2) [Install git](http://git-scm.com/) on the Windows machine.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(3) [Install git-annex for Windows](http://git-annex.branchable.com/install/Windows/) on the Windows machine. Don't forget to run the installer as administrator.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(4) Run _Git Bash_ from the system menu, and run these commands to clone your repository.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
ssh-keygen
|
||
|
|
cat .ssh/id_rsa.pub | ssh username@my-server.com "cat >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys"
|
||
|
|
git clone username@my-server.com:/path/to/annex
|
||
|
|
cd annex
|
||
|
|
git annex init
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(5) Create a script that will trigger a full sync
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
echo '
|
||
|
|
#!/bin/bash
|
||
|
|
git annex sync
|
||
|
|
git annex get *
|
||
|
|
git annex add .
|
||
|
|
git annex sync
|
||
|
|
git annex copy * --to origin
|
||
|
|
' > sync.sh
|
||
|
|
chmod +x sync.sh
|
||
|
|
./sync.sh
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(6) Copy the "Git Bash" shortcut from your windows menu to your desktop, and change the link target to:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
C:\Program Files\Git\bin\sh.exe" --login -i "annex/sync.sh"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Now ask your users to run this shortcut before and after they change files. You can also put it into the "autostart" folder to sync at boot.
