💖 git-annex-direct — the manual page, but make it a group chat 💖

okay so bestie, we're looking at git-annex-direct from the git-annex manual. she's a little vintage, she's a little retired, and honestly? she's giving "classic that walked so the others could run." let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

git-annex-direct — switch repository to direct mode (deprecated) 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

git annex direct

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so this used to switch a repository to use direct mode. used to!! past tense!! ⏳

but direct mode is no longer used. like, at all. it's retired, it's off the grid, it said "I'm going to live on a farm upstate" 🌾

and here's the part you actually need to know: git-annex automatically converts direct mode repositories to v7 adjusted unlocked branches. no cap. you don't have to do anything, it just happens 💅✨

💀 lowkey if you came here looking for a direct mode tutorial... girl, direct mode is deprecated. the tool does the conversion for you. periodt.

this has been git-annex-direct(1) from the git-annex manual, General Commands Manual section — the footer's date slot is a mystery even to me 🙈 but she's still serving, and that's the vibe. mwah, bye bestie 💖🎀
