Notice that in the [[previous example|getting_file_content]], `git annex
sync` was used. This lets git-annex know what has changed in the other
repositories like the laptop, and so it knows about the files present there and can
get them.
Let's look at what the sync command does in more detail:
# cd /media/usb/annex
# git annex sync
commit
nothing to commit (working directory clean)
ok
pull laptop
ok
push laptop
ok
After you run sync, the repository will be updated with all changes made to
its remotes, and any changes in the repository will be pushed out to its
remotes, where a sync will get them. This is especially useful when using
git in a distributed fashion, without a
[[central bare repository|tips/centralized_git_repository_tutorial]]. See
[[sync]] for details.
Note that syncing only syncs the metadata about your files that is stored
in git. It does not sync the contents of files, that are managed by
git-annex.
