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.
**Note that encrypted buckets are not (yet) supported. Data sent to S3
is without encryption susceptible to snooping.**
First, export your S3 credentials:
# export ANNEX_S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID="08TJMT99S3511WOZEP91"
# export ANNEX_S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="s3kr1t"
Next, create the S3 remote.
# git annex initremote mys3 type=S3 encryption=none
initremote mys3 (checking bucket) (creating bucket in US) ok
The configuration for the S3 remote is stored in git. So to make a different
repository use the same S3 remote is easy:
# cd /media/usb/annex
# git pull laptop master
# git annex initremote mys3
initremote mys3 (checking bucket) ok
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.
