git-annex migrate - switch data to different backend
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
git annex migrate `[path ...]`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Changes the specified annexed files to use the default key-value backend
|
|
|
|
|
(or the one specified with `--backend`). Only files whose content
|
|
|
|
|
is currently available are migrated.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that the content is also still available using the old key after
|
|
|
|
|
migration. Use `git annex unused` to find and remove the old key.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Normally, nothing will be done to files already using the new backend.
|
|
|
|
|
However, if a backend changes the information it uses to construct a key,
|
|
|
|
|
this can also be used to migrate files to use the new key format.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When you have multiple repositories that each contain a copy of a file,
|
|
|
|
|
it's best to run migrate in all of them.
