git-xfer

Git plugin for transferring large files across servers.

Installation

Clone the repo and install with pip or setuptools:

git clone git@github.com:bprinty/git-xfer.git
pip install .

Configuration

To add a remote server that can be used by git-xfer, either use the config subcommand:

git xfer config [<type>]

Or manually add the server as a git remote:

git remote add <name> <url>

git remote add server ssh://user@server.com:22/~/git-xfer.git

Note: for remote servers using a port other than 22, please use the format above in defining the remote url. git-xfer uses the port specified in the url to do transfer operations.
