Quicknotes - Git Annex
Before using git annex, you need to declare that this is a git annex repository
git annex init
Add a file to git annex
git annex add <filename>
To add the content to the server, just adding the file to git annex is not sufficient. You need to do
git annex sync --content
When you clone or pull a repo, only the annex symlinks are downloaded, the files aren’t downloaded. To download the annexed file,
git annex get <filename>
git annex sync --content
also downloads the annexed files
