I am following the instructions at [tips/publishing_your_files_to_the_public](https://git-annex.branchable.com/tips/publishing_your_files_to_the_public/) to export trees to a public remote. Often I want to just share a single file publicly with someone, not an entire folder. Does the export command already support this in some way? I do know the docs say it only supports treeishes, any reason I shouldn't add a TODO if this isn't currently supported?
I am following the instructions at [tips/publishing_your_files_to_the_public](https://git-annex.branchable.com/tips/publishing_your_files_to_the_public/) to export trees to a public remote. Often I want to just share a single file publicly with someone, not an entire folder (which is what export supports).
I tried:
git annex export master:tests/tests1.mov --to public
fatal: entry 'export.tree' object 64a9dba40c4325f86c106887750b9405d89b54d4 is a blob but specified type was (tree)
git-annex: fd:27: hClose: resource vanished (Broken pipe)
and:
git annex export tests/tests1.mov --to public
fatal: Invalid object name 'tests/tests1.mov'.
git-annex: unknown tree
using git annex version `7.20181106-g352f88226`
For example I am using [git-annex-remote-googledrive](https://github.com/Lykos153/git-annex-remote-googledrive) and I have created a new folder with public read access from drive.google.com. If I set this folder up as an exporttree remote I could then export a local annexed sub-folder to it. What I really want though is to pick a single file to share publicly with someone and send that to my public folder. Does anyone have thoughts on an existing workflow that might achieve this?
