NAME

6       git-annex-assist - add files and sync changes with remotes

SYNOPSIS

9       git annex assist [remote ...]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       This  command  assists  you  in  checking files into the repository and
13       syncing with remotes. It's the simplest possible way to  use  git-annex
14       at  the  command line, since only this one command needs to be run on a
15       regular basis.
16
17       This command first adds any new files to the  repository,  and  commits
18       those  as  well  as  any modified files. Then it does the equivilant of
19       running [[git-annex-pull](1) followed by git-annex-push(1).
20
21       This command operates on all files in the whole working tree, even when
22       ran in a subdirectory. To limit it to operating on files in a subdirec‐
23       tory, use the --content-of option.
24
25       To block some files from being added to the repository, use  .gitignore
26       files.
27
28       By  default,  all files that are added are added to the annex, the same
29       as when you run git annex add. If you configure annex.largefiles, files
30       that it does not match will instead be added with git add.

37       --content-of=path -C path
38              Only add, pull, and push files in the given path.
39
40              This option can be repeated multiple times with different paths.
