NAME

       hitchhiker -  Access locations using Bazaar transports

SYNOPSIS

           hitchhiker [URL] [COMMAND] [ARGS]

OPTIONS

       None.

DESCRIPTION

       A client to access bzr transports, namely the Bazaar version control
       repositories. This utility can be used to log into the remote host and
       manipulate Bazaar repositoy content like it were a FTP, SFTP client.
       Command include cp, mv, rmtree etc. Use Case: command ’bzr upgrade
       <URL> <repository format options>’ is run and after the process is over
       the backup.bzr needs to be removed. With this tool the task is easy.

       If no COMMAND is supplied, interactive mode is launched. If no URL is
       supplied, in interactive mode, the "open" command should be used to
       connect to a location.

EXAMPLES

   COMMAND LINE USE
       To run command, like help non-interactively, use URL, e.g. current
       directory:

          hitchhiker . help

       Without options, the command line client starts in interactive mode:

           hitchhiker
           (Cmd) <cursor here>

       Try command help for list of possibilities

           (Cmd) help
           at
           cd
           connect-and-wait
           edit
           exit
           get
           help
           info
           ls
           lsl
           mirror
           mkdir
           open
           put
           rename
           rm
           rmtree

       Further help is provided for each command:

           (Cmd) help open
           Usage: open LOCATION
           Open a new location.

           The location may be any URL supported by Bazaar.
           (Cmd) exit
