# NAME
git-annex unannex - undo accidential add command
# SYNOPSIS
git annex unannex `[path ...]`
# DESCRIPTION
Use this to undo an accidental `git annex add` command. It puts the
file back how it was before the add.
Note that for safety, the content of the file remains in the annex,
until you use `git annex unused` and `git annex dropunused`.
This is not the command you should use if you intentionally annexed a
file and don't want its contents any more. In that case you should use
`git annex drop` instead, and you can also `git rm` the file.
# OPTIONS
* `--fast`
Normally this does a slow copy of the file. In `--fast` mode, it
instead makes a hard link from the file to the content in the annex.
But use --fast mode with caution, because editing the file will
change the content in the annex.
* file matching options
The [[git-annex-matching-options]](1)
can be used to specify files to unannex.
