git annex

Manage files with Git, without checking their contents in. When a file is annexed, its content is moved into a key-value store, and a symlink is made that points to the content. More information: https://git-annex.branchable.com.
  • Initialize a repo with Git annex:
    git annex init
  • Add a file:
    git annex add {{path/to/file_or_directory}}
  • Show the current status of a file or directory:
    git annex status {{path/to/file_or_directory}}
  • Synchronize a local repository with a remote:
    git annex {{remote}}
  • Get a file or directory:
    git annex get {{path/to/file_or_directory}}

    git annex help
