NAME

       git-annex-p2p - configure peer-2-peer links between repositories

SYNOPSIS

       git annex p2p [options]

DESCRIPTION

       This command can be used to link git-annex repositories over peer-2-peer networks.

       Currently, the only P2P network supported by git-annex is Tor hidden services.

OPTIONS

       --pair

              Run this in two repositories to pair them together over the P2P network.

              This will print out a code phrase, like "3-mango-elephant", and will prompt for you
              to enter the code phrase from the other repository.

              Once code phrases have been exchanged, the two repositories will be paired.  A  git
              remote will be created for the other repository, with a name like "peer1".

              This  uses [Magic Wormhole](https://github.com/warner/magic-wormhole) to verify the
              code phrases and securely communicate the P2P addresses of the repositories, so you
              will need it installed on both computers that are being paired.

       --gen-address
              Generates  addresses  that can be used to access this git-annex repository over the
              available P2P networks. The address or addresses is output to stdout.

              Note that anyone who knows these addresses can access your repository over the  P2P
              networks.

       --link Sets up a git remote that is accessed over a P2P network.

              This will prompt for an address to be entered; you should paste in the address that
              was generated by --gen-address in the remote repository.

              Defaults to making the git remote be named  "peer1",  "peer2",  etc.  This  can  be
              overridden with the --name option.

       --name Specify a name to use when setting up a git remote with --link or --pair.
