💅 git-remote-tor-annex — like, the whole vibe

✨ NAME ✨

git-remote-tor-annex — a remote helper program to talk to git-annex over tor

like. that's literally her whole job. she's the middlewoman 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

git fetch tor-annex::address.onion:port

git remote add tor tor-annex::address.onion:port

two ways to pull up, pick your fighter 💖

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this is a git remote helper program — meaning git can just use it to pull and push over tor(1), chatting with a tor hidden service. the whole thing is giving spy-movie energy, honestly. 🕵️♀️✨

the tor hidden service probably requires an authtoken to use it. (not always, but like, assume yes, okay?)

you can hand over that authtoken in the environment variable GIT_ANNEX_P2P_AUTHTOKEN. that's option one 💜

OR — and this is the cute part — if there's a file sitting in .git/annex/creds/ whose name matches the onion address of the hidden service, then its first line gets used as the authtoken. first line only, bestie. not the second line, not the vibe of the whole file. line one. 📝
