NAME¶
bup-ls - list the contents of a bup repository
SYNOPSIS¶
bup ls [-s][-a] <paths...>
DESCRIPTION¶
bup ls lists files and directories in your bup repository using the same
directory hierarchy as they would have with
bup-fuse(1).
The top level directory contains the branch (corresponding to the -n option in
bup save), the next level is the date of the backup, and subsequent
levels correspond to files in the backup.
When bup ls is asked to output on a tty, it formats its output in columns
so that it can list as much as possible in as few lines as possible. However,
when bup ls is asked to output to something other than a tty (say you
pipe the output to another command, or you redirect it to a file), it will
output one file name per line. This makes the listing easier to parse with
external tools.
Note that bup ls doesn't show hidden files by default and one needs to
use the -a option to show them. Files are hidden when their name begins with a
dot. For example, on the topmost level, the special directories named .commit
and .tag are hidden directories.
Once you have identified the file you want using bup ls, you can view its
contents using bup join or git show.
