Normally git-annex does not retrieve file contents when checking out a
|
||||||
|
tree. In some use cases, it makes sense to always have the contents of
|
||||||
|
files available after a `git checkout` or `git update`. This can be
|
||||||
|
accomplished by installing the following as `.git/hooks/post-checkout`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#!/bin/sh
|
||||||
|
# Uses git-annex to get all files in the specified directories
|
||||||
|
# (relative to the top of the repository) on checkout.
|
||||||
|
dirs=.
|
||||||
|
top="$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)"
|
||||||
|
for dir in "$dirs"; do git annex get $top/$dir"; done
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
By default, all files in the whole repository will be made available. The
|
||||||
|
`dirs` setting can be configured if you only want to get files in certian
|
||||||
|
directories.
