So you have two computers in the same building, and you want them to share
|
||||
the same synchronised folder, communicating directly with each other.
|
||||
|
||||
This is incredibly easy to set up with the git annex assistant.
|
||||
|
||||
Let's say the two computers are your computer and your friend's computer.
|
||||
We'll start on your computer, where you open up your git annex dashboard.
|
||||
|
||||
[[!img addrepository.png alt="Add another repository button"]]
|
||||
|
||||
`*click*`
|
||||
|
||||
[[!img pairing.png alt="Pair with local computer"]]
|
||||
|
||||
Now the hard bit. You have to think up a secret phrase, and type it in..
|
||||
|
||||
[[!img secret.png alt="Enter secret phrase"]]
|
||||
|
||||
Now your computer is in pairing mode. When your friend looks at her git
|
||||
annex dashboard, she sees something like this.
|
||||
|
||||
[[!img pairrequest.png alt="Pair request"]]
|
||||
|
||||
`*click*`
|
||||
|
||||
[[!img secretempty.png alt="Enter same secret phrase"]]
|
||||
|
||||
Now it's up to you to let her know what the secret is. As soon as she
|
||||
enters it, both your computers will be paired, and will begin to sync their
|
||||
git-annex folders. Just like that you can share files.
|
||||
|
||||
----
|
||||
|
||||
Something to keep in mind, especially if pairing doesn't seem to be
|
||||
working, is that the two computer need to be on the same network for this
|
||||
pairing process to work. Sometimes a building will have more than one
|
||||
network inside it, and you'll need to connect them both to the same one.
|
||||
Make sure the wireless network name is the same, or that they're both
|
||||
plugged into the same router.
|
||||
|
||||
Also, the file sharing set up by this pairing only works when both
|
||||
computers are on the same network. If you go on a trip, any files you
|
||||
edit will not be visible to your friend until you get back. **But**,
|
||||
you can get around this by hooking both computers up to a server on the
|
||||
internet, which they can use to exchange files. The git annex assistant
|
||||
makes that easy too.
|
||||
|
||||
And also, you can pair with as many other computers as you like, not just
|
||||
one!
