git-annex drop - remove content of files from repository

# SYNOPSIS
git annex drop `[path ...]`
# DESCRIPTION
Drops the content of annexed files from this repository, when
possible.
git-annex will refuse to drop content if it cannot verify it is
safe to do so.
# OPTIONS
* `--from=remote`
Rather than dropping the content of files in the local repository,

contents should be removed.
--auto is no longer a global option; only get, drop, and copy accept it. Not a behavior change unless you were passing it to a command that ignored it.
2015-03-25 21:06:14 +00:00
* `--auto`
Rather than trying to drop all specified files, drop only files that
are not preferred content of the repository.

2015-03-23 19:36:10 +00:00
* `--force`
Use this option with care! It bypasses safety checks, and forces
git-annex to delete the content of the specified files, even from
the last repository that is storing their content. Data loss can
result from using this option.

* `--all` `-A`
drop: Now supports --all, --unused, and --key.
2015-05-12 17:00:06 +00:00
Rather than specifying a filename or path to drop, this option can be
used to drop all available versions of all files.
This is the default behavior when running git-annex drop in a bare repository.
--branch, stage 1 Added --branch option to copy, drop, fsck, get, metadata, mirror, move, and whereis commands. This option makes git-annex operate on files that are included in a specified branch (or other treeish). The names of the files from the branch that are being operated on are not displayed yet; only the keys. Displaying the filenames will need changes to every affected command. Also, note that --branch can be specified repeatedly. This is not really documented, but seemed worth supporting, especially since we may later want the ability to operate on all branches matching a refspec. However, when operating on two branches that contain the same key, that key will be operated on twice.
2016-07-20 16:05:22 +00:00
Note that this bypasses checking the .gitattributes annex.numcopies
setting.
* `--branch=ref`
Drop files in the specified branch or treeish.
Note that this bypasses checking the .gitattributes annex.numcopies
setting.
drop: Now supports --all, --unused, and --key.
2015-05-12 17:00:06 +00:00
* `--unused`
Drop files found by last run of git-annex unused.

* file matching options
The [[git-annex-matching-options]](1)
can be used to specify files to drop.
drop -Jn
2015-11-04 21:13:20 +00:00
* `--jobs=N` `-JN`
Runs multiple drop jobs in parallel. This is particularly useful
when git-annex has to contact remotes to check if it can drop files.
For example: `-J4`
drop: Add --batch and --json options.
2016-07-06 15:54:46 +00:00
* `--batch`
Enables batch mode, in which lines containing names of files to drop
are read from stdin.
* `--json`
Enable JSON output. This is intended to be parsed by programs that use
git-annex. Each line of output is a JSON object.
add --json-error-messages (not yet implemented) Added --json-error-messages option, which includes error messages in the json output, rather than outputting them to stderr. The actual rediretion of errors is not implemented yet, this is only the docs and option plumbing. This commit was supported by the NSF-funded DataLad project.
2018-02-19 18:28:17 +00:00
* `--json-error-messages`
better doc for --json-error-messages Word so warnings can be included, not only errors.
2018-02-19 19:33:59 +00:00
Messages that would normally be output to standard error are included in
the json instead.

# SEE ALSO
[[git-annex]](1)
expand manpages cross-references significantly i found that most man pages only had references to the main git-annex manpage, which i stillfind pretty huge and hard to navigate through. i tried to sift through all the man pages and add cross-references between relevant pages. my general rule of thumb is that links should be both ways unless one of the pages is a more general page that would become ridiculously huge if all backlinks would be added (git-annex-preferred-content comes to mind). i have also make the links one per line as this is how it was done in the metadata pages so far. i did everything but the plumbing, utility and test commands, although some of those are linked from the other commands so cross-links were added there as well.
