NAME¶
ori - Ori File System command line interface
SYNOPSIS¶
ori COMMAND [
ARGUMENTS...]
DESCRIPTION¶
This tool provides the command line interface to the Ori distributed file
system. Provides useful tools for accessing, manipulating, and repairing Ori
repositories without the use of FUSE. It can be used alone without FUSE to
checkout a snapshot of a tree and commit changes to one. This tool is also the
main daemon used by the SSH push/pull interface.
This command line tool also controls the Ori FUSE driver if run inside a mounted
file system rather than a repository. Only certain commands are supported at
the moment and the list is documented in the
orifs man page.
N.B. This project is still in flux and repository layouts may not be compatible
between releases. You may be required to copy files from one repository to
another manually and the history may not be preserved.
REPOSITORY COMMANDS¶
This list contains commands that will operate on your local instance of the
repository. These may callout to remote repositories for data if this was an
InstaCloned repository.
- checkout [--force] COMMIT-HASH
- Checkout a revision of the repository. By default this applies the current
modified files onto the specified revision, but for most users the merge
command is a safer alternative. The --force flag is used to discard
current changes and checkout the revision specified.
- log
- Display a log of changes made to the repository.
- merge COMMIT-HASH
- Merges the specified change with the current HEAD.
- newfs FS-NAME
- Create a file system with the given name.
- removefs FS-NAME
- Remove the specified file system.
- show
- Show repository information.
- snapshot [-m MESSAGE] [SNAPSHOT-NAME]
- Take a snapshot of the repository. You may optionally supply a message to
be included and a name.
- snapshots
- List all snapshots in this repository.
- status
- Show a list of currently modified files and directories in the
repository.
- tip
- Print the commit hash for the HEAD revision.
REMOTE MANAGEMENT COMMANDS¶
This section lists commands used to clone repositories, pull changes, and manage
a list of remote repositories to interact with. The special remote repository
named
origin is used as the default for certain operations that take an
optional remote name. At the moment an InstaCloned repository can only be
created with
orifs.
- replicate [--ondemand] SOURCE-PATH
- Clone a remote or local repository into a new directory.
- pull [PATH|REMOTE-NAME]
- Pulls changes from a repository. The user can specify a path to another
repository or the name of a previously registered repository. By default
the command pulls from the origin.
- remote
- Display a list of the remote nodes.
- remote add NAME PATH
- Add a remote repository given a path
- remote remove NAME
- Remove a remote repository by name
ADVANCED COMMANDS¶
This section lists a few commands that are for advanced users only. They either
provide access to lower level functionality or are experimental. The verify
command is useful to all users to check that the repository has not been
corrupted.
- filelog
- Displays a log of relevant commits made to the specified file.
- findheads
- Searches for detached heads that are not referenced by a branch.
- gc
- Garbage collect any deleted objects that have not been reclaimed. This
will repack the pack files that contain deleted objects.
- graft
- Experimental command to graft changes from one repository into
another.
- purgecommit COMMIT-HASH
- Deletes a commit. Use this command with caution as it's experimental as
certain commands may no longer work after.
- verify
- Verify that the repository is consistent.
OTHER COMMANDS¶
- help
- Display a list of commands and their purpose.
