💅 NAME 💅

git-annex-transferrer — it transfers content, bestie, that's the whole job

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

git annex transferrer

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so listen. This one is a plumbing-level command, which is Unix-speak for "the internals, not the vibes-facing stuff." Its entire purpose? Transferring data. That's it. That's the girl.

It's a long-running process, meaning it doesn't just do one thing and dip — it hangs around, staying alive, waiting for you to tell it what to do next. And how does it get told? Through an internal stdio protocol, which is where instructions about what to transfer get fed in.

And that protocol is intentionally not documented 😭 Not because nobody got around to it — because it may change at any time. So do not go building your whole personality around it, okay? It is not a stable API. It is a situationship.

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀
