NAME

6       git-annex-assistant  -  daemon  to  add  files  and  automatically sync
7       changes
8

SYNOPSIS

10       git annex assistant
11

DESCRIPTION

13       Watches for changes to files in the current directory and its subdirec‐
14       tories,  and  automatically  syncs them to other remotes. This includes
15       adding new files. New files published to remotes by others are also au‐
16       tomatically downloaded.
17
18       By default, all new files in the directory will be added to the reposi‐
19       tory.  (Including dotfiles.) To block some files from being added,  use
20       .gitignore files.
21
22       By  default,  all files that are added are added to the annex, the same
23       as when you run git annex add. If you configure annex.largefiles, files
24       that it does not match will instead be added with git add.

OPTIONS

27       --autostart
28
29              Automatically  starts  the  assistant running in each repository
30              listed in the file ~/.config/git-annex/autostart
31
32              This is typically started at boot, or when you log in.
33
34       --startdelay=N
35              Wait N seconds before running the startup scan. This process can
36              be expensive and you may not want to run it immediately upon lo‐
37              gin.
38
39              When --autostart is used, defaults to --startdelay=5.
40
41       --foreground
42              Avoid forking to the background.
43
44       --stop Stop a running daemon in the current repository.
45
46       --autostop
47              The complement to --autostart; stops all running daemons in  the
48              repositories listed in the autostart file.
49
50       Also the git-annex-common-options(1) can be used.
