git-annex has multiple key-value [[backends]]. So far this walkthrough has
|
||||
demonstrated the default, WORM (Write Once, Read Many) backend.
|
||||
|
||||
Another handy backend is the URL backend, which can fetch file's content
|
||||
from remote URLs. Here's how to set up some files in your repository
|
||||
that use this backend:
|
||||
|
||||
# git annex fromkey --backend=URL --key=http://www.archive.org/somefile somefile
|
||||
fromkey somefile ok
|
||||
# git commit -m "added a file from the Internet Archive"
|
||||
|
||||
Now you if you ask git-annex to get that file, it will download it,
|
||||
and cache it locally.
|
||||
|
||||
# git annex get somefile
|
||||
get somefile (downloading)
|
||||

|
||||
ok
|
||||
|
||||
You can always drop files downloaded by the URL backend. It is assumed
|
||||
that the URL is stable; no local backup is kept.
|
||||
|
||||
# git annex drop somefile
|
||||
drop somefile (ok)
