git-annex-copy - copy content of files to/from another
repository
git annex copy [path ...] [--from=remote|--to=remote]
Copies the content of files from or to another remote.
- --from=remote
- Copy the content of files from the specified remote to the local
repository.
- Any files that are not available on the remote will be silently
skipped.
- --to=remote
- Copy the content of files from the local repository to the specified
remote.
- --to=here
- Copy the content of files from all reachable remotes to the local
repository.
- --jobs=N
-JN
- Enables parallel transfers with up to the specified number of jobs running
at once. For example: -J10
- --auto
- Rather than copying all files, only copy files that don't yet have the
desired number of copies, or that are preferred content of the destination
repository. See git-annex-preferred-content(1)
- --fast
- When copying content to a remote, avoid a round trip to check if the
remote already has content. This can be faster, but might skip copying
content to the remote in some cases.
- --all -A
- Rather than specifying a filename or path to copy, this option can be used
to copy 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 move a specified key.
- file matching options
- The git-annex-matching-options(1) can be used to specify files to
copy.
- --batch
- Enables batch mode, in which lines containing names of files to copy 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 copied, 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 copying a file is verbose and not
machine-parseable, you may want to use --json in combination with
--batch.
- -z
- Makes the --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.
