oxen add

After initializing a repository, you can add files to it using the oxen add command.

oxen add <file>

This is the workhorse of oxen that does most of the compute. Under the hood, oxen add does a few operations:

• Hashes the file(s) and directory structure
• Computes any additional metadata about the file
  • Sizes
  • File Types
  • Schemas (for JSON, CSV, etc.)
• Copies a version of the file into the content addressable versions store
• Adds a record to the staged index

Under the hood

In order to see what this looks like on disk, let's create a few files and directories, then add them to a fresh repository.

mkdir my-project
cd my-project
oxen init
