Like any other git repository, git-annex repositories have remotes.
|
|
|
|
|
Let's start by adding a USB drive as a remote.

$ sudo mount /media/usb
|
|
|
|
|
$ cd /media/usb
|
|
|
|
|
$ git clone ~/annex
|
|
|
|
|
$ cd annex
|
|
|
|
|
$ git annex init "portable USB drive"
|
|
|
|
|
$ git remote add laptop ~/annex
|
|
|
|
|
$ cd ~/annex
|
|
|
|
|
$ git remote add usbdrive /media/usb/annex

This is all standard ad-hoc distributed git repository setup.

The only git-annex specific part is telling it a description
|
|
|
|
|
of the new repository created on the USB drive. This is optional, but
|
|
|
|
|
giving the repository a description helps when git-annex talks about it
|
|
|
|
|
later.

|
Notice that both repos are set up as remotes of one another. This lets

|
either get annexed files from the other. You'll often want to do that
|
|
|
|
|
even when you are using git in a more centralized fashion.
