Examples

Carry in command works with Xvc repositories.

$ git init
...
$ xvc init

We first track a file.

$ xvc file track data.txt

$ xvc file list data.txt
FC          19 [..] c85f3e81 c85f3e81 data.txt
Total #: 1 Workspace Size:          19 Cached Size:          19

We update the file with a command.

$ perl -i -pe 's/a/ee/g' data.txt

$ cat data.txt
Oh, deetee, my, deetee

$ xvc file list data.txt
FC          23 [..] c85f3e81 e37c686a data.txt
Total #: 1 Workspace Size:          23 Cached Size:          19

Note that the size of the file has increased, as we replace each a with an ee.

$ xvc file carry-in data.txt

$ xvc file list data.txt
FC          23 [..] e37c686a e37c686a data.txt
Total #: 1 Workspace Size:          23 Cached Size:          19
