6 git-annex-copy - copy content of files to/from another repository
7
9 git annex copy [path ...] [--from=remote|--to=remote]
10
12 Copies the content of files from or to another remote.
13
15 --from=remote
16
17 Copy the content of files from the specified remote to the local
18 repository.
19
20 Any files that are not available on the remote will be silently
21 skipped.
22
23 --to=remote
24 Copy the content of files from the local repository to the spec‐
25 ified remote.
26
27 --to=here
28 Copy the content of files from all reachable remotes to the
29 local repository.
30
31 --jobs=N -JN
32 Enables parallel transfers with up to the specified number of
33 jobs running at once. For example: -J10
34
35 Setting this to "cpus" will run one job per CPU core.
36
37 --auto Rather than copying all files, only copy files that don't yet
38 have the desired number of copies, or that are preferred content
39 of the destination repository. See git-annex-preferred-con‐
40 tent(1)
41
42 --fast When copying content to a remote, avoid a round trip to check if
43 the remote already has content. This can be faster, but might
44 skip copying content to the remote in some cases.
45
46 --all -A
47 Rather than specifying a filename or path to copy, this option
48 can be used to copy all available versions of all files.
49
50 This is the default behavior when running git-annex in a bare
51 repository.
52
53 --branch=ref
54 Operate on files in the specified branch or treeish.
55
56 --unused
57 Operate on files found by last run of git-annex unused.
58
59 --failed
60 Operate on files that have recently failed to be transferred.
61
62 --key=keyname
63 Use this option to copy a specified key.
64
65 file matching options
66 The git-annex-matching-options(1) can be used to specify files
67 to copy.
68
69 --batch
70 Enables batch mode, in which lines containing names of files to
71 copy are read from stdin.
72
73 As each specified file is processed, the usual progress output
74 is displayed. If a file's content does not need to be copied, or
75 it does not match specified matching options, or it is not an
76 annexed file, a blank line is output in response instead.
77
78 Since the usual output while copying a file is verbose and not
79 machine-parseable, you may want to use --json in combination
80 with --batch.
81
82 -z Makes the --batch input be delimited by nulls instead of the
83 usual newlines.
84
85 --json Enable JSON output. This is intended to be parsed by programs
86 that use git-annex. Each line of output is a JSON object.
87
88 --json-progress
89 Include progress objects in JSON output.
90
91 --json-error-messages
92 Messages that would normally be output to standard error are
93 included in the json instead.
