A repository does not always have all annexed file contents available.
|
|
When you need the content of a file, you can use "git annex get" to
|
|
make it available.
|
|
|
|
We can use this to copy everything in the laptop's annex to the
|
|
USB drive.
|
|
|
|
# cd /media/usb/annex
|
|
# git pull laptop master
|
|
# git annex get .
|
|
get my_cool_big_file (copying from laptop...) ok
|
|
get iso/debian.iso (copying from laptop...) ok
|
|
|
|
Notice that you had to git pull from laptop first, this lets git-annex know
|
|
what has changed in laptop, and so it knows about the files present there and
|
|
can get them. The alternate approach is to set up a central bare repository,
|
|
and always push changes to it after committing them, then in the above,
|
|
you can just pull from the central repository to get synced up to all
|
|
repositories.
