* Re: unpacking git files ` Linux for blind general discussion @ ` Linux for blind general discussion 0 siblings, 0 replies; 7+ messages in thread From: Linux for blind general discussion @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: Linux for blind general discussion Okay, so far as I know fahlib-git on github is actually a private repository. That is one of the packages listed in foldingathome-beta's README.md file used to build FAHClient. The better news turns out to be I needed to clear the old data files from this machine in addition to the foldingathome-beta package and run everything as I would if I were a new user in foldingathome-beta supplying the same configuration information and now foldingathome-beta is working fine. It doesn't interfere with computer operations but does make the machine run harder since the fan is on constantly as this package runs so it's unnecessary for me to unpack a local version of a git file this time.

I'm not sure what sort of "git file" you have. If it's a "bundle", you can pull from it as if it was an upstream project: git clone your_repo.bundle repo to create a local directory called "repo" and clone that bundle into it. If it's just a pack file from inside the .git/ folder from another repo, there's no telling what may or may not be in there (okay, one can spelunk in there, but you lose a lot of the metadata that is elswhere in the folder such as branch-heads/names, and any commits that weren't part of the pack-file) -tim On April 23, 2020, Linux for blind general discussion wrote: > If you download a git file how is it possible to have git unpack > the file for you into its own directory tree? > I failed to write my git credentials in braille and haven't used > them for a very long time so may be able to get a git file using > wget but for now I don't know how to unpack the file. > > > > -- > > > _______________________________________________ > Blinux-list mailing list > Blinux-list@redhat.com > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list > ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread
