NAME

6       git-annex-required - get or set required content expression
7

SYNOPSIS

9       git annex required repository [expression]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       When run with an expression, configures the content that is required to
13       be held in the archive.
14
15       For example:
16
17        git annex required . "include=*.mp3 or include=*.ogg"
18
19       Without an expression, displays the current required content setting of
20       the repository.
21
22       While git-annex-wanted(1) is just a preference, this designates content
23       that should really not be removed. For example a file  that  is  wanted
24       can  be  removed  with git annex drop, but if that file is required, it
25       would need to be removed with git annex drop --force.
26
27       Also, git-annex fsck will warn about required  contents  that  are  not
28       present.

NOTES

31       The required command was added in git-annex 5.20150420.
