tron-init

tron-init creates a new empty TRoN file-system.

TRoN — identity through content

TRoN is a tool that stores files based on what they are, not where you put them — stored by content, not by location. I.e., what is sometimes called content-addressing.

Although TRoN supports the use of file-names and directories, at its core, TRoN looks at the file's actual contents, and creates a unique finger-print of it, and uses that finger-print as the file's address (rather than a file-name). I.e., data addressed by what it is. (File-Names and directories are mapped to these unique finger-prints.)

Usage

Use tron-init as follows:

$ tron-init

This will create a .tron directory (and its sub-directories) in the current directory.
