I always use the command line to perform 'mtn sync', and I almost never do 'mtn push' or 'mtn pull'. I use the command line because I want to watch the ticker, and because I use shell scripts to specify the proper remote host, ssh connection, cygwin vs mingw32, etc. So I have not tried to support these operations in the DVC code. I guess the ticker could show nicely in the dvc-process buffer; I haven't actually tried that. > (It uses the xmtn-diff mode (why?), That's another discussion; I've argued for a separate 'dvc-status' mode elsewhere. > and I couldn't find a hint on its help page about that).

This should run 'mtn pull'. That will pull from the default remote repository set in the database. So you have to run 'mtn pull' from the command line once first to set the default. Hmm. The 'other' parameter can be used to specify the remote repository. But there's no way specify that parameter from the DVC status buffer. What, _exactly_, do you want 'dvc-pull' to do? That's part of the reason I have not worked on this; there are many options for push/pull/sync, and it's not clear to me how to specify them via DVC. Performing these operations via the bookmarks buffer, with its notion of 'partner url', might make more sense. In fact, 'dvc-bookmarks-pull' (bound to "Mf") does pass the partner as the 'other' parameter to dvc-pull, so it may do what you want. This all needs to be in a user guide. On a slightly related topic, I've finally restored my work website, so my 'intro to DVC in Emacs' is available again. The URL has changed; it's now at: http://gds.gsfc.nasa.gov/dvc-intro.html This does not cover DVC bookmarks; too advanced for my team at work :). -- -- Stephe _______________________________________________ Dvc-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/dvc-dev
