NAME

6       git-annex-testremote - test transfers to/from a remote
7

SYNOPSIS

9       git annex testremote remote
10

DESCRIPTION

12       This  tests a remote by generating some random objects and sending them
13       to the remote, then redownloading them, removing them from the  remote,
14       etc.
15
16       It's safe to run in an existing repository (the repository contents are
17       not altered), although it may perform expensive data transfers.
18
19       It's best to make a new remote for testing  purposes.  While  the  test
20       tries  to  clean up after itself, if the remote being tested had a bug,
21       the cleanup might fail, leaving test data in the remote.
22
23       Testing will use the remote's configuration, automatically varying  the
24       chunk  sizes,  and  with simple shared encryption disabled and enabled,
25       and exporttree disabled and enabled.
