NAME

6       git-annex-migrate - switch data to different backend
7

SYNOPSIS

9       git annex migrate [path ...]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Changes  the specified annexed files to use the default key-value back‐
13       end (or the one specified with --backend). Only files whose content  is
14       currently available are migrated.
15
16       Note  that  the content is also still available using the old key after
17       migration. Use git annex unused to find and remove the old key.
18
19       Normally, nothing will be done to files already using the new  backend.
20       However,  if  a  backend changes the information it uses to construct a
21       key, this can also be used to migrate files to use the new key format.
22
23       When you have multiple repositories that each contain a copy of a file,
24       it's best to run migrate in all of them.
