NAME

git-annex put - send content of files to other repositories

SYNOPSIS

git annex put [path ...]

DESCRIPTION

Sends the content of annexed files to remotes. By default, files are sent to all remotes (except for certian special remotes that have to be populated using git-annex export).

With no parameters, operates on all annexed files in the current directory. Paths of files or directories to operate on can be specified.

OPTIONS

  • --wanted -w

    Send files only to remotes that want them. See git-annex-preferred-content(1)

  • --auto

    Only send files to remotes that want them, or when there are not yet the desired number of copies.

  • --fast

    Only send files to remotes with the lowest annex-cost value configured.

  • --jobs=N -JN

    Enables parallel transfers with up to the specified number of jobs running at once. For example: -J10

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

  • --all -A

    Rather than specifying a filename or path to send, this option can be used to send all available versions of all files.

    This is the default behavior when running git-annex in a bare repository.

  • --branch=ref

    Operate on files in the specified branch or treeish.

  • --unused

    Operate on files found by last run of git-annex unused.

  • --failed

    Operate on files that have recently failed to be transferred.

  • --key=keyname

    Use this option to send a specified key.

  • matching options

    The git-annex-matching-options(1) can be used to specify what to send.

  • --batch

    Enables batch mode, in which lines containing names of files to send are read from stdin.

    As each specified file is processed, the usual progress output is displayed. If a file's content does not need to be sent, or it does not match specified matching options, or it is not an annexed file, a blank line is output in response instead.

    Since the usual output while sending a file is verbose and not machine-parseable, you may want to use --json in combination with --batch.

  • --batch-keys

    This is like --batch but the lines read from stdin are parsed as keys.

  • -z

    Makes batch input be delimited by nulls instead of the usual newlines.

  • --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-progress

    Include progress objects in JSON output.

  • --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.
