# NAME
git-annex mirror - mirror content of files to/from another repository
# SYNOPSIS
git annex mirror `[path ...] [--to=remote|--from=remote]`
# DESCRIPTION
This causes a destination repository to mirror a source repository.
Each specified file in the source repository is mirrored to the destination
repository. If a file's content is present in the source repository, it is
copied to the destination repository. If a file's content is not present in
the source repository, it will be dropped from the destination repository
when the numcopies setting allows.
Note that mirror does not sync the git repository, but only the file
contents. Use [[git-annex-sync]](1) for that.
# OPTIONS
* `--to=remote`
Use the local repository as the source repository, and mirror its contents
to the remote.
* `--from=remote`
Use the remote as the source repository, and mirror its contents to the local
repository.
* `--jobs=N` `-JN`
Enables parallel transfers with up to the specified number of jobs
running at once. For example: `-J10`
* `--all`
Mirror all objects stored in the git annex, not only objects used by
currently existing files.
However, this bypasses checking the .gitattributes annex.numcopies
setting when dropping files.
This is the default behavior when running git-annex in a bare repository.
* file matching options
The [[git-annex-matching-options]](1)
can be used to specify files to mirror.
