Glassfs

[iniesta]

Hi,

 

I would know how could I bring me the content of one repository from a label to a directory created on my computer using the comand glassfs?  What would be the degree for command line?

 

Thanks.

Glassfs mounts a virtual drive on windows with the exact content of the branch, changeset or label you decide. And then you can access the files as you'd if they were in a regular directory... but without having to download everything to disk first.

The "glassfs unit" is "virtual" and hence it will only read from the repository the files you really access.

 

You have glassfs in your client folder. And you have to use a command like this:

glassfs z: c:\users\plastic\client\client.conf "rep 'codice' path '/' branch '/main'" 

Indicating the path where you want to mount the branch, client.conf path, repository name and branch name. Instead of a branch you can select a label or changeset.

 

But remember it´s a "virtual" unit and it will only read from the repository the files you really access.

 

Regards,

Carlos

Is not possible to save it to a directory rather than to a virtual drive? I want export the content of one repository to a directory, for example C:/Development/mydirectory

 

Thanks, regards

Hi,

 

And aren´t you able to create a workspace in this directory and download the label content directly from the repository?

glassfs only allows you to create a virtual unit.
