# git-remote-tor-annex(1)

remote helper program to talk to git-annex over tor

## NAME

git-remote-tor-annex - remote helper program to talk to git-annex over tor

## SYNOPSIS

git fetch tor-annex::address.onion:port

git remote add tor tor-annex::address.onion:port

## DESCRIPTION

This is a git remote helper program that allows git to pull and push over [tor(1)](/tor/1.md), communicating with a tor hidden service.

The tor hidden service probably requires an authtoken to use it. The authtoken can be provided in the environment variable **GIT\_ANNEX\_P2P\_AUTHTOKEN**. Or, if there is a file in  **.git/annex/creds/** matching the onion address of the hidden service, its first line is used as the authtoken.
