# NAME

git-annex merge - automatically merge changes from remotes

# SYNOPSIS

git annex merge

# DESCRIPTION

This performs the same merging (and merge conflict resolution)
that is done by the sync command, but without pushing or pulling any
data.

One way to use this is to put `git annex merge` into a repository's
post-receive hook. Then any syncs to the repository will update its
working copy automatically.

splitting up the man page Common command man pages all split out and often expanded. A few sections split out into their own pages. Still need to do all the other commands.. 2015-03-23 19:36:10 +00:00			`# NAME`

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. 2015-05-29 16:12:55 +00:00			`[[git-annex-sync]](1)`
