git-remote-p2p-annex(1)

💖 NAME 💖

git-remote-p2p-annex — a remote helper program, but make it peer-to-peer, bestie. It's how git talks to git-annex over a P2P network ✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

git fetch p2p-annex::netname+address

git remote add foo p2p-annex::netname+address

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so picture this: it's a git remote helper program, which basically means it's the little liaison that lets git pull and push over a P2P network. Yes, both directions. We're not just fetching, we're sending too 💅

Under the hood it calls a command called git-annex-p2p-<netname> to do the actual talking with the P2P network. That's the whole vibe — this program is the middleman, that command is the one holding the phone 🫶
