Amazon S3 Object Interaction [message #1454630]

I have been trying to implement the Amazon S3 uploads am getting lost in the API. From the AmazonS3.java file, it looks like I can use :

public void put(final String bucket, final String key, final byte[] data), but how do I know what the name of the key is?

Is there an automatic way to upload the entire repo? I figured out how to do most of the basic git commands (init, commit, add, etc)... and I can open an existing repo:

File repodir = new File("E:\\gitrepo\\.git");

FileRepositoryBuilder builder = new FileRepositoryBuilder();
Repository repository = builder.setGitDir(repodir)
.readEnvironment() // scan environment GIT_* variables
.findGitDir() // scan up the file system tree
.build();
System.out.println("Having repository: " + repository.getDirectory());
Git git = new Git(repository);

But let's say how do I get from this to uploading this repo to AmazonS3? Further, I saw there's encryption with Amazon S3 and wondering how would I use that.

Hi, thanks for your response. I've seen a lot of information similar to what is contained in this blog. I'm looking for essentially doing the same thing but using just Java code rather than the command line interface. I'm getting lost in the API. It seems you have to use the AmazonS3, AmazonTransport, and some other classes as well and I'm having trouble putting it all together.
