    Git annex and rsync

    I started to use git-annex for my GoPro archive (atm 2TB of jpg files). But for my upload scripts to openstreetcam and mapillary I needed the files and not the symlinks git-annex is using.

    rsync for the rescue.

    From the rsync man page:

    -L, --copy-links            transform symlink into referent file/dir
    

    In my scripts I now use rsync -aL source target to get the files out of a git-annex repository.
