New user? Can't figure out the basics? Add it here - what you wanted, what you tried.

#### I wanted to keep track of some files I had all organized in a directory outside of my ~/annex:
|
|
|
|
$ cd ~/annex
|
|
$ git annex add /path/to/some/photos
|
|
fatal: '/path/to/some/photos' is outside repository
|
|
|
|
But git-annex doesn't work that way. I had to do this instead
|
|
|
|
$ rsync -a /path/to/some/photos
|
|
$ git annex add photos
|
|
(Recording state in git...)
|
|
$ git annex status
|
|
... lots of helpful info...
|
|
|
|
#### I just have the OS/X app, can I do commandline stuff?
|
|
|
|
yes
|
|
|
|
$ /Applications/git-annex.app/Contents/MacOS/git-annex add photos/
|
|
(Recording state in git...)
|
|
|
|
but perhaps there is a better way.
