NAME

6       git-annex-info - information about an item or the repository
7

SYNOPSIS

9       git annex info [directory|file|treeish|remote|description|uuid ...]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Displays statistics and other information for the specified item, which
13       can be a directory, or a file, or a treeish, or a remote,  or  the  de‐
14       scription or uuid of a repository.
15
16       When  no item is specified, displays statistics and information for the
17       local repository and all known annexed files.
18

OPTIONS

20       --fast
21
22              Only show the data that can be gathered quickly.
23
24       --json Enable JSON output. This is intended to be  parsed  by  programs
25              that use git-annex. Each line of output is a JSON object.
26
27       --json-error-messages
28              Messages that would normally be output to standard error are in‐
29              cluded in the json instead.
30
31       --bytes
32              Show file sizes in bytes, disabling the default nicer units.
33
34       --batch
35              Enable batch mode, in which a line containing an  item  is  read
36              from  stdin,  the  information about it is output to stdout, and
37              repeat.
38
39       -z     Makes the --batch input be delimited by  nulls  instead  of  the
40              usual newlines.
41
42       file matching options
43              When a directory is specified, the git-annex-matching-options(1)
44              can be used to select the files in the directory  that  are  in‐
45              cluded in the statistics.
46
47       Also the git-annex-common-options(1) can be used.
48

EXAMPLES

50       Suppose  you want to run "git annex get .", but would first like to see
51       how much disk space that will use.  Then run:
52
53        git annex info --fast . --not --in here
