The web can be used as a [[special_remote|special_remotes]] too.

# git annex addurl http://example.com/video.mpeg

ok
|
|
|
|
Now the file is downloaded, and has been added to the annex like any other
|
|
file. So it can be renamed, copied to other repositories, and so on.
|
|
|
|
Note that git-annex assumes that, if the web site does not 404, the file is
|
|
still present on the web, and this counts as one [[copy|copies]] of the
|
|
file. So it will let you remove your last copy, trusting it can be
|
|
downloaded again:
|
|
|
|
# git annex drop example.com_video.mpeg
|
|
drop example.com_video.mpeg (checking http://example.com/video.mpeg) ok
|
|
|
|
If you don't [[trust]] the web to this degree, just let git-annex know:
|
|
|
|
# git annex untrust web
|
|
untrust web ok
|
|
|
|
With the result that it will hang onto files:
|
|
|
|
# git annex drop example.com_video.mpeg
|
|
drop example.com_video.mpeg (unsafe)
|
|
Could only verify the existence of 0 out of 1 necessary copies
|
|
Also these untrusted repositories may contain the file:
|
|
00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001 -- web
|
|
(Use --force to override this check, or adjust annex.numcopies.)
