bup-join(1)						      General Commands Manual						       bup-join(1)

NAME

       bup-join - concatenate files from a bup repository

SYNOPSIS

       bup join [-r host:path] [refs or hashes...]

DESCRIPTION

       bup join  is  roughly the opposite operation to bup-split(1).  You can use it to retrieve the contents of a file from a local or remote bup
       repository.

       The supplied list of refs or hashes can be in any format accepted by git(1), including branch names, commit ids, tree ids, or blob ids.

       If no refs or hashes are given on the command line, bup join reads them from stdin instead.

OPTIONS

       -r, --remote=host:path
	      Retrieves objects from the given remote repository instead of the local one.  path may be blank, in which case  the  default  remote
	      repository is used.  The connection to the remote server is made with SSH.  If you'd like to specify which port, user or private key
	      to use for the SSH connection, we recommend you use the ~/.ssh/config file.

EXAMPLE

	      # split and then rejoin a file using its tree id
	      TREE=$(tar -cvf - /etc | bup split -t)
	      bup join $TREE | tar -tf -

	      # make two backups, then get the second-most-recent.
	      # mybackup~1 is git(1) notation for the second most
	      # recent commit on the branch named mybackup.
	      tar -cvf - /etc | bup split -n mybackup
	      tar -cvf - /etc | bup split -n mybackup
	      bup join mybackup~1 | tar -tf -
