6 git-annex-importfeed - import files from podcast feeds
7
9 git annex importfeed [url ...]
10
12 Imports the contents of podcasts and other feeds. Only downloads files
13 whose content has not already been added to the repository before, so
14 you can delete, rename, etc the resulting files and repeated runs won't
15 duplicate them.
16
17 When youtube-dl is installed, it can be used to download links in the
18 feed. This allows importing e.g., YouTube playlists. (However, this
19 is disabled by default as it can be a security risk. See the documen‐
20 tation of annex.security.allowed-http-addresses in git-annex(1) for
21 details.)
22
23 To make the import process add metadata to the imported files from the
24 feed, git config annex.genmetadata true
25
27 --force
28
29 Force downloading items it's seen before.
30
31 --template
32 Controls where the files are stored.
33
34 The default template is '${feedtitle}/${itemtitle}${extension}'
35
36 Other available variables for templates: feedauthor, itemauthor,
37 itemsummary, itemdescription, itemrights, itemid, itempubdate,
38 title, author
39
40 --relaxed, --fast, --raw
41 These options behave the same as when using git-annex-addurl(1).
42
43 --fast Avoid immediately downloading urls. The url is still checked
44 (via HEAD) to verify that it exists, and to get its size if pos‐
45 sible.
46
47 --relaxed
48 Don't immediately download urls, and avoid storing the size of
49 the url's content. This makes git-annex accept whatever content
50 is there at a future point.
51
52 --raw Prevent special handling of urls by youtube-dl, bittorrent, and
53 other special remotes. This will for example, make importfeed
54 download a .torrent file and not the contents it points to.
