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.
- --format=value
- Use custom output formatting.
- The value is a format string, in which '${var}' is expanded to the value
of a variable. To right-justify a variable with whitespace, use
'${var;width}' ; to left-justify a variable, use '${var;-width}'; to
escape unusual characters in a variable, use '${escaped_var}'
- These variables are available for use in formats: file, key, uuid, url,
backend, bytesize, humansize, keyname, hashdirlower, hashdirmixed, mtime
(for the mtime field of a WORM key).
- Also, '\n' is a newline, '\000' is a NULL, etc.
- When the format contains the uuid variable, it will be expanded in turn
for each repository that contains the file content. For example, with
--format="${file} ${uuid}\n", output will look like:
-
foo 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001
foo a7f7ddd0-9a08-11ea-ab66-8358e4209d30
bar a7f7ddd0-9a08-11ea-ab66-8358e4209d30
- The same applies when the url variable is used and a file has multiple
recorded urls.
