NAME

6       git-annex-expire - expire inactive repositories

SYNOPSIS

9       git annex expire [repository:]time ...
10

DESCRIPTION

12       This command expires repositories that have not performed some activity
13       within a specified time period. A repository is expired by  marking  it
14       as  dead.  De-expiration  is  also done; if a dead repository performed
15       some activity recently, it is marked as semitrusted again.
16
17       This can be useful when it's not possible to keep track of the state of
18       repositories  manually. For example, a distributed network of reposito‐
19       ries where nobody can directly access all  the  repositories  to  check
20       their status.
21
22       The  repository can be specified using the name of a remote, or the de‐
23       scription or uuid of the repository.
24
25       The time is in the form "60d" or "1y". A time of "never"  will  disable
26       expiration.
27
28       If  a time is specified without a repository, it is used as the default
29       value for all repositories. Note that the current repository  is  never
30       expired.

OPTIONS

33       --no-act
34
35              Print out what would be done, but not not actually expire or un‐
36              expire any repositories.
37
38       --activity=Name
39              Specify the activity that a repository must  have  performed  to
40              avoid being expired. The default is any activity.
41
42              Currently,  the only activity that can be performed to avoid ex‐
43              piration is --activity=Fsck which corresponds to git annex fsck.
44              Note  that fscking a remote updates the expiration of the remote
45              repository, not the local repository.
46
47              The first version of git-annex that recorded fsck  activity  was
48              5.20150405.
