Is there a way to pull from an encrypted remote?
Use case:
- Have annex in an encrypted public rsync remote
- Have USB stick with PGP keys (but not the annex repository)
- Get to a new computer
- Set up a new annex using the PGP keys I have.
1-3 work fine However, 4'th is the issue:
How would I do git pull <remote>
for an encrypted remote? Is it possible?
You just need to
git clone
the existing repository and make sure thegit remote
s are setup.the 'rsync remote' is not actually the annex, it's just a collection of encrypted files with obfuscated names. You need a copy of the actual repository to restore the files.
Until you don't have(access to) an existing repository to clone from.
I really hope you revisit this when you come to the encryption part of the assistant.
Btw, I also run FreeBSD if you need a tester on that at some point.
