In this tutorial, we will go through the steps required to install Git Annex on Clear Linux Latest version. Git Annex is a tool that allows you to manage large files in Git repositories without actually storing the content in the repository itself. This tool is useful when you need to manage a lot of binary files in your repository, such as images, datasets, or other multimedia files.
Before we start, make sure you have the following installed:
Open your web browser and go to https://git-annex.branchable.com/.
Scroll down to the Downloads section and download the latest stable version of Git Annex for Clear Linux.
Open a terminal emulator on your Clear Linux machine.
Navigate to the directory where you downloaded the Git Annex package using the cd command. For example, if you downloaded the package to your Downloads folder, enter the following:
cd ~/Downloads
Extract the contents of the package using the tar command. For example, if you downloaded the git-annex-standalone-amd64.tar.gz package, enter the following:
tar -xf git-annex-standalone-amd64.tar.gz
Move the extracted Git Annex files to a location on your PATH so that you can easily access the Git Annex command from any location. For example, you can move the files to the /usr/local/bin/ directory:
sudo mv git-annex-standalone/* /usr/local/bin/
Check that Git Annex has been installed correctly by running the following command:
git-annex version
This command should output the version of Git Annex that you have installed.
You have successfully installed Git Annex on Clear Linux Latest. You can now use Git Annex to manage large files in your Git repositories. Refer to the Git Annex documentation for more information on how to use this tool.
