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.
