This special remote type accesses files stored in a
|
|
[borg](https://www.borgbackup.org/) repository.
|
|
|
|
This allows retrieving annexed files from borg repositories, and since
|
|
git-annex knows which files are stored in a borg repository, it can be
|
|
configured to treat the repository as one copy of the file.
|
|
|
|
Unlike most special remotes, this is read-only; it cannot change what
|
|
is stored in a borg repository. You do that by using borg as usual,
|
|
and then `git-annex sync` will learn about the files that are stored
|
|
in the borg repository.
|
|
|
|
## configuration
|
|
|
|
These parameters can be passed to `git annex initremote` to configure the
|
|
remote:
|
|
|
|
* `repository` - The location of a borg repository, eg a path, or
|
|
`user@host:path` for ssh access.
|
|
|
|
Setup example:
|
|
|
|
# borg init --encryption=keyfile /path/to/repo
|
|
# git annex initremote borg type=borg repository=/path/to/repo
