Most [[backends]] can transfer data to and from configured git remotes.
|
|
|
|
|
Normally those remotes are normal git repositories (bare and non-bare),
|
|
|
|
|
that store the file contents in their own git annex directory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
But, git-annex also extends git's concept of remotes, with these special
|
|
|
|
|
types of remotes. These can be used just like any normal remote by git-annex.
|
|
|
|
|
They cannot be used by other git commands though.
