git-annex-whereis - lists repositories that have file content
git annex whereis [path ...]
Displays information about where the contents of files are
located.
For example:
# git annex whereis
whereis my_cool_big_file (1 copy)
0c443de8-e644-11df-acbf-f7cd7ca6210d -- laptop
whereis other_file (3 copies)
0c443de8-e644-11df-acbf-f7cd7ca6210d -- laptop
62b39bbe-4149-11e0-af01-bb89245a1e61 -- usb drive [here]
7570b02e-15e9-11e0-adf0-9f3f94cb2eaa -- backup drive
Note that this command does not contact remotes to verify if they
still have the content of files. It only reports on the last information
that was received from remotes.
- file matching options
- The git-annex-matching-options(1) can be used to specify files to act
on.
- --key=keyname
- Show where a particular git-annex key is located.
- --all -A
- Show whereis information for all known keys.
- --branch=ref
- Show whereis information for files in the specified branch or
treeish.
- --unused
- Show whereis information for files found by last run of git-annex
unused.
- --batch
- Enables batch mode, in which a file is read in a line from stdin, its
information displayed, and repeat.
- Note that if the file is not an annexed file, or does not match specified
file matching options, an empty line will be output instead.
- -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-error-messages
- Messages that would normally be output to standard error are included in
the json instead.
