Hi,
I really like git-annex for sharing contents with all my devices. But i have a problem with the assistant on my phone, i don't know how to git annex get some file but not all. For example i have this on a remote:
repository: - big file1 - big file2 - big file3
I have this repository on my phone. I would like to be able to checkout out only "big file2" directly within the assistant. How can i achieve that?
Thank you.
preferred content expressions can be used to do that. Works best if all the files you want have some extension or are in a specific directory.
There are some standard groups that might do what you want, particularly the "manual" one.
Thanks for your reply.
The Standard group "manual" seems to be what i need. The last thing i'd like to now is, is there a way to do git annex get on the assistant(on the webui) on my phone? (I know i can do this on the shell opened, but it's not that easy to write from the phone.) I guess it's not implemented, and i understand that it should be a lot of work to add a file browser in the ui where you can git annex get, and git annex add from it.
Thanks again for your answer, really helpfull: I have a better idea on how i will structur my git annex repositories.
There is not currently any UI to do git-annex get/drop.
There is some recent work on file manager integration which lets you use a file manager and pick files you want and files to drop. Nobody has gotten it working with android file manager yet AFAIK.
