already running, it will be started. This will cause new files to
be added and syncing operations to be performed.

By default, the webapp can only be accessed from localhost, and running
it opens a browser window.
# OPTIONS
* `--listen=address`
Useful for using the webapp on a remote computer. This makes the webapp
listen on the specified address.
This disables running a local web browser, and outputs the url you
can use to open the webapp.
Set annex.listen in the git config to make the webapp always
listen on an address.
split out common options to its own page and mention it on each subcommand page Sometimes users would get confused because an option they were looking for was not mentioned on a subcommand's man page, and they had not noticed that the main git-annex man page had a list of common options. This change lets each subcommand mention the common options, similarly to how the matching options are handled. This commit was sponsored by Svenne Krap on Patreon.

# USING HTTPS
When using the webapp on a remote computer, you'll almost certainly
want to enable HTTPS. The webapp will use HTTPS if it finds
a .git/annex/privkey.pem and .git/annex/certificate.pem. Here's
one way to generate those files, using a self-signed certificate:
openssl genrsa -out .git/annex/privkey.pem 4096
openssl req -new -x509 -key .git/annex/privkey.pem > .git/annex/certificate.pem

[[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.
