G-Node Infrastructure command line client

This package is a command line client for interfacing with repositories hosted on GIN. It offers a simplified interface for downloading and uploading files from repositories hosted on Gin. For a guide on how to use the GIN service and this client, see the GIN quick start page.

Usage

The following is a description of the available commands in the GIN client. In the command line, you can view a basic list of commands by running

gin -h

You can also run

gin help <cmd>

to get the full description of any command.

The table below describes the commands and their arguments. Please note:

• Arguments enclosed in square brackets (e.g., [<filenames>]) are optional.
  • Generally, when a command specifies that it accepts [<filenames>] it means the user can limit the application of the command to specific filenames and directories. Multiple arguments may be specified (separated by space). If none are listed, the command will apply to all files and directories below the current working directory.
• Arguments listed together separated by a pipe (e.g., --here | --no-clone) denotes that the two options cannot be specified at the same time.
