git-annex: Add a file.
$ git annex add ${filename_or_directory}
try on your machine

The command git annex add ${filename_or_directory} is used in the Git Annex system to add a specified file or directory to the Git repository. Here's an explanation of each component:

  • git annex add: This is the actual command in Git Annex that adds files or directories to the repository. It informs Git Annex to start tracking the specified file(s) and prepares them for inclusion in the repository.

  • ${filename_or_directory}: This is a placeholder that should be replaced with the name of the file or directory you want to add to the repository. For example, if you want to add a file named "example.txt", you would replace ${filename_or_directory} with example.txt. If you want to add a directory named "my_folder", you would replace ${filename_or_directory} with my_folder.

By executing this command with the appropriate file or directory name, the specified item(s) will be added to the Git Annex repository.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
