git-annex-info - information about an item or the repository
git annex info [directory|file|treeish|remote|uuid ...]
Displays statistics and other information for the specified item,
which can be a directory, or a file, or a treeish, or a remote, or the uuid
of a repository.
When no item is specified, displays statistics and information for
the repository as a whole.
- --fast
- Only show the data that can be gathered quickly.
- --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.
- --bytes
- Show file sizes in bytes, disabling the default nicer units.
- --batch
- Enable batch mode, in which a line containing an item is read from stdin,
the information about it is output to stdout, and repeat.
- -z
- Makes the --batch input be delimited by nulls instead of the usual
newlines.
- file matching options
- When a directory is specified, the git-annex-matching-options(1) can be
used to select the files in the directory that are included in the
statistics.
Suppose you want to run "git annex get .", but would
first like to see how much disk space that will use. Then run:
git annex info --fast . --not --in here
