Quickstart

Note: This is a work in progress. Only examples are given here, for now.

The following is a workflow example in four steps.

Step (1) - Create a repo

$ repo.py --init

Step (2) - Add a target file

$ repo.py --add foo.tar.gz

Step (3) - Serve the repo

$ cd "repo/"
$ python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8001

Step (4) - Fetch a target file from repo

$ cd "client/"
$ client.py --repo http://localhost:8001 foo.tar.gz

See CLI.md for more examples. A Tutorial is also available, and designed for users that want more control over the creation process.
