An example using a local repository (it’s the same for a remote repository) # Create the repository cd /tmp git init --bare myrepo.git git clone /tmp/myrepo.git mycheckout # Clone the repository and commit a text file and a binary cd mycheckout echo "Nothing" > Readme.txt git add Readme.txt mkdir -p 5.1.3/x86_64 dd if=/dev/urandom of=5.1.3/x86_64/pkg1.lrp bs=1024 count=1024 git store add 5.1.3/x86_64/pkg1.lrp git store push git commit -a -m "First release" git push # Checkout the repository in another directory cd /tmp git clone /tmp/myrepo.git mycheckout2 cd mycheckout2 git store get 5.1.3/x86_64/pkg1.lrp Regards, Yves ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming The Go Parallel Website, sponsored by Intel and developed in partnership with Slashdot Media, is your hub for all things parallel software development, from weekly thought leadership blogs to news, videos, case studies, tutorials and more.
