A repository does not always have all annexed file contents available.
|
|
|
|
|
When you need the content of a file, you can use "git annex get" to
|
|
|
|
|
make it available.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We can use this to copy everything in the laptop's annex to the
|
|
|
|
|
USB drive.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# cd /media/usb/annex
|

|
|
|
# git fetch laptop; git merge laptop/master
|

|
|
|
# git annex get .
|

|
|
|
get my_cool_big_file (from laptop...) ok
|
|
|
|
|
get iso/debian.iso (from laptop...) ok

Notice that you had to git fetch and merge from laptop first, this lets
|
|
|
|
|
git-annex know what has changed in laptop, and so it knows about the files
|
|
|
|
|
present there and can get them.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The alternate approach is to set up a
|
|
|
|
|
[[central bare repository|tips/centralized_git_repository_tutorial]], and
|
|
|
|
|
always push changes to it after committing them, then in the above,
|
|
|
|
|
you can just pull from the central repository to get synced up to
|
|
|
|
|
all repositories.
