Problem: I don't have admin access on all the computers I want to plug my USB with git-annex on.
Solution: Make git & git-annex portable.
The only catch is I'm not familiar enough with git to be able to actually tell if the more specialized git-annex working properly. The commands execute without crashing so I suspect it's fine but I was hoping someone else more competent could try this out and let me know if I it's working so I can add it to the tips section. Thanks in advance!
Ingredients:
* Portable version of msysgit: <http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/downloads/list>
* Windows git-annex installer: <http://git-annex.branchable.com/install/>
* 7-zip (portable version optional): <http://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/7-zip_portable>
Steps:
1. Use 7-zip to extract the contents of the git-annex installer into their own folder.
2. Extract the portable version of git and copy all files extracted from git-annex installer into the "cmd" folder.
3. Run it!
Edit: the markdown is eating my attempts to create a numbered list and making them a paragraph instead. Apologies!
