Thanks for opening the issue!
The .dat
directory at ~/.dat
is used to store the write keys for all your dats. Unfortunately, we overlooked the idea that someone may want to share their home directory.
We definitely don't want people deleting that directory, so this error is really bad there. It'd be great to:
.dat
directory.I'll be happy to support anyone who want to take this on.
What about moving ~/.dat into ~/.config/dat ?
I have a large-ish project that resides on a server in it's own unix account, call that /home/my-awesom-project. Intending to create a dat archive for ~my-awesome-project, i began by creating a .datignore file. It looked like:
Running
dat create
was disappointing:IncompatibleError: Dat folder contains incompatible metadata. Please remove your metadata (rm -rf .dat"
... tis a shame that a~/.datignore
entry isn't sufficient to resolve that.`Reasonable I guess, but not what's I'd visualized in my fantasies.
The dat cli (
~/.dat/releases/dat-13.11.5-linux-x64/dat
) was installed using thewget ... | bash
technique; on Gnu/Linux.Thanks to all for your efforts.
