NAME

git-annex log - shows location log information

SYNOPSIS

git annex log [path ...]

DESCRIPTION

This command displays information from the history of the git-annex branch.

Several things can prevent that information being available to display. When git-annex-forget is used, old historical data gets cleared from the branch. When annex.private or remote.name.annex-private is configured, git-annex does not write information to the branch at all. And when annex.alwayscommit is set to false, information may not have been committed to the branch yet.

OPTIONS

  • [path ...]

    Displays the location log for the specified file or files, showing each repository they were added to ("+") and removed from ("-"). Note that it displays information about the file content currently at these paths, not for any different content that was there in earlier commits.

  • matching options

    The git-annex-matching-options(1) can be used to control what to act on when displaying the location log for specified files.

  • --all -A

    Shows location log changes to all content, with the most recent changes first. In this mode, the names of files are not available and keys are displayed instead.

  • --key=keyname

    Displays the location log for the specified key.

  • --branch=ref

    Displays the location log for the files in the specified branch or treeish.

  • --unused

    Displays the location log for files found by last run of git-annex unused.

  • --sizesof=repository

    Displays a history of the total size of the annexed files in a repository over time from the creation of the repository to the present.

    The repository can be "here" for the current repository, or the name of a remote, or a repository description or uuid.

    Note that keys that do not have a known size are not included in the total.

  • --sizes

    This is like --sizesof, but rather than display the size of a single repository, it displays the sizes of all known repositories.

    The output is a CSV formatted table.

  • --totalsizes

    This is like --sizesof, but it displays the total size of all known repositories.

  • --interval=time

    When using --sizesof, --sizes, and --totalsizes, this controls the minimum interval between displays of the size. The default is to display each new recorded size.

    The time is of the form "30d" or "1y".

  • --received

    Combine this option with --sizesof or --sizes to display the amount of data received into repositories since the last line was output.

  • --gnuplot

    Combine this option with --sizesof or --sizes or --totalsizes to use gnuplot(1) to graph the data. The gnuplot file will be left on disk for you to reuse.

    For example, to graph the sizes of all repositories:

    git-annex log --sizes --interval=1d --gnuplot

    To graph the amount of new data received into each repository every 30 days:

    git-annex log --sizes --interval=30d --gnuplot --recieved

  • --bytes

    Show sizes in bytes, disabling the default nicer units.

  • --raw-date

    Rather than the normal display of a date in the local time zone, displays seconds since the unix epoch.

  • --since=date, --after=date, --until=date, --before=date, --max-count=N

    These options are passed through to git log, and can be used to limit how far back to search for location log changes.

    For example: --since "1 month ago"

    These options do not have an affect when using --sizesof, --sizes, and --totalsizes.

  • --gource

    Generates output suitable for the gource visualization program.

    This option does not have an affect when using --sizesof, --sizes, and --totalsizes.

  • --json

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

    This option does not have an affect when using --sizesof, --sizes, and --totalsizes.

  • --json-error-messages

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

    This option does not have an affect when using --sizesof, --sizes, and --totalsizes.

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