I have created a git annex repo, added data. I then went to check it out in another location in the following way (my goal is to checkout origin, add a test file, push it back to origin).
git clone ../test_repo/
cd test_repo/
git status
git annex init DEV touch test.txt
vi test.txt
git annex merge
git annex add test.txt
git commit -am "test"
git push origin master git-annexHowever I am getting the following error

What am I missing?
I did not recognise some of the commands that you used to establish your second git annex repository, but I can tell you how I did the same, and had it working.
git clone ../test_repo/
cd test_repo/
git annex init "My new annex copy"
git annex sync
Since it already has the original repository as the remote origin, it should be able to sync the metadata.
From then on you can add files and sync them to the other repository, e.g.
vi test.txt
git annex add test.txt
git commit -m "test"
git annex sync --content
I like to do a commit after calling annex add and before calling annex sync, because annex sync does some automatic commits.
