NAME

6       git-annex-watch - daemon to watch for changes
7

SYNOPSIS

9       git annex watch
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Watches for changes to files in the current directory and its subdirec‐
13       tories, and takes care of automatically adding new files,  as  well  as
14       dealing  with  deleted, copied, and moved files. With this running as a
15       daemon in the background, you no longer need to manually run  git  com‐
16       mands when manipulating your files.
17
18       By default, all new files in the directory will be added to the reposi‐
19       tory.  (Including dotfiles.) To block some files from being added,  use
20       .gitignore files.
21
22       By  default,  all files that are added are added to the annex, the same
23       as when you run git annex add. If you configure annex.largefiles, files
24       that it does not match will instead be added with git add.
