Get Updates from a Local Computer (LAN)
What is this method?
Use this method to copy updates from a nearby computer on the same classroom network that already has the necessary files. This avoids the need for multiple internet downloads.
The computer you are pulling from is the “source” machine, and the computer you are pulling to is the “destination” machine.
1. Identify the Source Machine
You will need the hostname or IP address of the source computer. For example, tl-1234.
2. Verify Connection
From the destination machine, make sure you can connect to the source machine.
ping tl-1234.local # Replace with the source hostname3. Pull the Component
From the destination machine, run the pull command, pointing to the source machine’s hostname.
# Pull the 'curriculum' component from host 'tl-1234'
