NAME

git-annex dropunused - drop unused file content

SYNOPSIS

git annex dropunused [number|range ...]

DESCRIPTION

Drops the data corresponding to the numbers, as listed by the last git annex unused

You can also specify ranges of numbers, such as "1-1000". Or, specify "all" to drop all unused data.

OPTIONS

• --from=remote

  Rather than dropping the unused files from the local repository, drop them from the remote repository.

• --force

  Use this option with care! It bypasses safety checks, and forces git-annex to delete the content of the specified files, even from the last repository that is storing their content. Data loss can result from using this option.

• --jobs=N -JN

  Runs multiple drop jobs in parallel. This is particularly useful when git-annex has to contact remotes to check if it can drop content. For example: -J4

  Setting this to "cpus" will run one job per CPU core.

• --json

  Enable JSON output. This is intended to be parsed by programs that use git-annex. Each line of output is a JSON object.

• --json-error-messages

  Messages that would normally be output to standard error are included in the JSON instead.

• Also the git-annex-common-options(1) can be used.
