git-annex-importfeed - import files from podcast feeds
git annex importfeed [url ...]
Imports the contents of podcasts and other feeds. Only downloads
files whose content has not already been added to the repository before, so
you can delete, rename, etc the resulting files and repeated runs won't
duplicate them.
When youtube-dl is installed, it can be used to download
links in the feed. This allows importing e.g., YouTube playlists. (However,
this is disabled by default as it can be a security risk. See the
documentation of annex.security.allowed-http-addresses in git-annex(1) for
details.)
To make the import process add metadata to the imported files from
the feed, git config annex.genmetadata true
- --force
- Force downloading items it's seen before.
- --template
- Controls where the files are stored.
- The default template is '${feedtitle}/${itemtitle}${extension}'
- Other available variables for templates: feedauthor, itemauthor,
itemsummary, itemdescription, itemrights, itemid, itempubdate, title,
author
- --relaxed,
--fast, --raw
- These options behave the same as when using git-annex-addurl(1).
- --fast
- Avoid immediately downloading urls. The url is still checked (via HEAD) to
verify that it exists, and to get its size if possible.
- --relaxed
- Don't immediately download urls, and avoid storing the size of the url's
content. This makes git-annex accept whatever content is there at a future
point.
- --raw
- Prevent special handling of urls by youtube-dl, bittorrent, and other
special remotes. This will for example, make importfeed download a
.torrent file and not the contents it points to.
