git-annex extends git's usual remotes with some [[special_remotes]], that
are not git repositories. This way you can set up a remote using say,
Amazon S3, and use git-annex to transfer files into the cloud.
First, export your S3 credentials:
export ANNEX_S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID="08TJMT99S3511WOZEP91"
export ANNEX_S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="s3kr1t"
Next, create a bucket, giving it a name and a description:
git annex s3bucket mybucket unencrypted
s3bucket (creating mybucket...) (no encryption!) ok
**Note that encrypted buckets are not (yet) supported. Data sent to S3
is susceptible to snooping.**
Finally, configure a git remote to use the bucket you created:
git config remote.mys3.annex-s3-bucket mybucket
Now the remote can be used like any other remote.
# git annex copy my_cool_big_file --to mys3
copy my_cool_big_file (to mys3...) ok
# git annex move video/hackity_hack_and_kaxxt.mov --to mys3
move video/hackity_hack_and_kaxxt.mov (to mys3...) ok
See [[special_remotes/Amazon_S3]] for details.
