findkeys: New command, very similar to git-annex find but operating on keys
I've long been asked for `git-annex find --all` or something like that, but pushed back on it because I feel that the command is analagous to find(1) and so it would be surprising for it to list keys rather than files. So instead, add a new findkeys subcommand. Note that the use of withKeyOptions is rather strange because usually that is used to fall back to --all rather than listing files, but here it's made to default to --all like behavior and never list files. A performance thing that could be improved is that withKeyOptions always reads and caches location logs. But findkeys with no options does not need them, so it could be made faster. That caching does speed up options like --in though. This is really just a subset of a more general performance thing that --all reads location logs sometimes unncessarily. Anyway, it needs to read the location log in order to checkDead, and it seems good that findkeys does skip dead keys. Also, cleaned up comments on git-annex-find man page asking for --all option.

@Dan `findref` never supported listing all keys either.
|
||||
|
||||
Yours is the best argument I've seen so far for wanting `find --all`.
|
||||
But the fact that this command is about listing files, not keys, still
|
||||
makes that seem out of scope for it.
|
||||
|
||||
Using `whereis` would certainly do what you want. Another option would
|
||||
be to `untrust` the repository that you are going to be deleting, and then
|
||||
run `fsck --all`. Although that would report potentially other problems
|
||||
besides files that are only present in that repository.
|
||||
|
||||
Finally, there's the bare metal option, which is also the fastest:
|
||||
`find .git/annex/objects -type f`

|
||||
Thanks Joey and Ilya for the nigh simultaneous untrust then fsck suggestion.
|
||||
I was able to get everything squared away using the `whereis` approach as a sort of poor man's dry run, then running the copy command I described, and then using my `whereis` again to convince myself that nothing was left behind, although I imagine I'm not the first one to be retiring a repo and so hopefully these comments will be of use to future users.
|
||||
|
||||
While my particular problem is solved, I just wanted to add some additional input RE adding `--all` to find.
|
||||
I appreciate that Joey thinks that `find` is about \"listing files, not keys\" (and if anyone's opinion here is authoritative, it should be his), but this was not my expectation as a user (although I would agree it was called `findfiles` or something like that), so I just wanted to share my experience trying to accomplish this task.
|
||||
|
||||
Given what I understand of `git-annex`, my instinct was to reach for a command that would let me use the powerful matching options against all known keys, so I looked over the list of commands to try to identify something that would do this.
|
||||
Right away, `find` leapt out as the natural candidate, but I couldn't get it to work how I wanted, so the next obvious choice was `list`, but that also didn't work.
|
||||
It was only when I looked at the this wiki page for `find` and saw discussion of adding support for `--all` that I started searching for commands that *did* accept `--all`, and I stumbled upon `whereis`, but this required a fair deal of detective work on my part.
|
||||
|
||||
FWIW, `whereis` is, IMHO, just as much about listing files at particular paths as `find` is (the documentation for both describes the argument as `[path ...]`; it only typically talks about keys when `--all` is passed, and so `whereis` taking `--all` when `find` does not seems unbalanced given that `whereis` seems like a tool that would be built on top of `find`.
|
||||
I think there's a similar asymmetry with `list` since it's described as being \"similar to `git annex whereis` but a more compact display.\"
|
||||
|
||||
Now that the `--all` genie is somewhat out of the bottle it might be too late for this, but I wonder if a `findkeys` command would help fill this need while obviating the need for `--all` being passed to most other commands.
|
||||
It would be unequivocally about finding keys and not files, and its output could be say a list of keys delimited by newlines (or perhaps optionally null's to make it play nice with commands that accept `-z`).
|
||||
If the user wanted to know more about the keys that matched their query, the output of this command could then be piped to `whereis`, `examinekey`, and other commands that support the `--batch` and/or `-z` option.
|
||||
Of course, instead of defining a new command, this functionality could be absorbed into `find --all`.
|
||||
|
||||
I realize that I can accomplish precisely what I describe above with e.g., `git annex whereis --all --format='${key}\n'`, which is great now that I know it's possible under `whereis`, but as a new user I would expect to find this functionality in `find` (which helpfully already supports `--format=`) before I thought to check `whereis`.

Ah, I hadn't considered the parallel to the standard `find` command, but now that you mention that I understand where you're coming from and can appreciate why `whereis` is free of this association.
|
||||
Still, I would think that a user who, after looking at the docs for `git annex find`, specified `--all` because they wanted to operate on keys would not be surprised.
|
||||
|
||||
I notice that the man page for `git annex find` already has a \"SEE ALSO\" reference to `git annex whereis`.
|
||||
Could this be expanded so that it more clearly and prominently advises the reader who is looking to query against all known keys to check out the `--all` argument to `git annex whereis` as well as its `--format=` option if \"whereis\" information is not actually of interest?

It would be awesome if there was the same --all option, and if the command produced something in bare repos, just like with the move / copy commands. At the moment for instance, it seems running git annex find on a bare repo returns nothing. There would be the question of the output format, but I guess one key per line is the obvious format one wants. I personally would want to run git annex find before a git annex move/copy, as a kind of dry-run, i.e. just to see the list of keys that will be transferred.

Thanks for the quick answer and for the tip. `findref` still displays file names, so OK, I can pipe the output with `lookupkey` to have the corresponding list of keys. Still, my understanding is that the computation is not the same as a potential `find --all` (or `find` on bare repos), in the sense that commands like `move --all` (or `move` on bare repos) only scan the files that are present in the repo, whereas `git annex findref master` looks at the whole branch regardless of where the files are. Sure, I can filter it with `findref master --in=here`, but the computational cost wouldn't be the same, would it? (imagining that my repo contains orders of magnitude fewer files than the branch) Also, `move --all` catches past versions of files that are still in the repo, i.e. \"unused files\", whereas I guess `findref master --in=here` would miss them? It's just that commands like `move --all` start by doing the job I want before taking an action on the files, so I just wish there was a \"no-action\" version of them. A `--dry-run` option in `move` and `copy` would be good enough. I tried to trick the `move` command with a `move --all ... --from=here --to=here` but of course I was outsmarted by the command :-)

Actually, that's not even true: `lookupkey` doesn't seem to work on a bare repo. So I don't see how I can get the list of keys that are going to be moved or copied when a `git annex move ...` or `git annex copy ...` is run from a bare repo.

|
||||
I'm preparing to recycle an aging laptop that has a few git-annex repos on it. I'd like to confirm that anything in its annex(es) exist in at least one other place and want to confirm what I'm doing to check this makes sense.
|
||||
|
||||
At first glance, it seems like the appropriate way to do this is with `git annex find --in here --not --copies=2` (where the latter predicate should be equal to testing for copies strictly less than 2).
|
||||
Since I have recently `git annex sync`-ed, this doesn't turn up anything.
|
||||
|
||||
However, if I understand everything correctly, this *only* checks files that are reachable from my current working tree.
|
||||
Thus, if there are a bunch of files in my (not currently checked out) `dev` branch that are *not* in my worktree, then this query will not discover them.
|
||||
I can get them to be considered with `git annex find --in here --not --copies=2 --branch dev`.
|
||||
I could manually (or via script) loop over all of my branches and repeat `git annex find --in here --not --copies=2 --branch ${branch}` to check all of my branches.
|
||||
However, this will only check the tips.
|
||||
Suppose there's a file that previously existed (solely) in my master branch, but at some point it was `git rm`-ed. Then unless I specify using `--branch` a TREEISH that has that file, it will not be considered.
|
||||
|
||||
So, I need to use some sort of query tool that supports both the `--all` flag as well as all of the matching options.
|
||||
The only thing I was able to find was `whereis`, so I can run `git annex whereis --all --in here --not --copies=2` in order to identify keys corresponding to files that are (a) locally available but where (b) the number of copies is not 2 or greater (i.e., it is here and only here).
|
||||
I suppose I could also just plunge ahead with `git annex copy --to ${remote} --all --in here --not --copies=2`, but it's reassuring to be able to run the query and see what would need to get moved (as well as to see the query come back empty before I wipe the hard drive).
|
||||
|
||||
Is this an appropriate use of `git annex whereis`, or is there a way that I can use `git annex find` to accomplish this, or perhaps some other query tool?
|
||||
In essence, I just want a way of querying "all" of the objects that git annex has ever known about using all of the standard matching options.
|
||||
I see discussion above regarding the lack of `--all` support for `git annex find`, which at the time suggested using `findref` instead but it seems like that has been deprecated in favor of `find`.

# NAME
|
||||
|
||||
git-annex findkeys - lists available keys
|
||||
|
||||
# SYNOPSIS
|
||||
|
||||
git annex findkeys
|
||||
|
||||
# DESCRIPTION
|
||||
|
||||
Outputs a list of keys known to git-annex.
|
||||
|
||||
# OPTIONS
|
||||
|
||||
* matching options
|
||||
|
||||
The [[git-annex-matching-options]](1)
|
||||
can be used to specify which keys to list.
|
||||
|
||||
By default, the findkeys command only lists keys whose content is
|
||||
currently present. Specifying any of the matching options will override
|
||||
this default behavior and match on all keys that git-annex knows about.
|
||||
|
||||
To list all keys, present or not, specify `--anything`.
|
||||
|
||||
To list keys whose content is not present, specify `--not --in=here`
|
||||
|
||||
* `--print0`
|
||||
|
||||
Output keys terminated with nulls, for use with `xargs -0`
|
||||
|
||||
* `--format=value`
|
||||
|
||||
Use custom output formatting.
|
||||
|
||||
The value is a format string, in which '${var}' is expanded to the
|
||||
value of a variable. To right-justify a variable with whitespace,
|
||||
use '${var;width}' ; to left-justify a variable, use '${var;-width}';
|
||||
to escape unusual characters in a variable, use '${escaped_var}'
|
||||
|
||||
These variables are available for use in formats: key, backend,
|
||||
bytesize, humansize, keyname, hashdirlower, hashdirmixed, mtime (for
|
||||
the mtime field of a WORM key).
|
||||
|
||||
Also, '\\n' is a newline, '\\000' is a NULL, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
The default output format is the same as `--format='${key}\\n'`
|
||||
|
||||
* `--json`
|
||||
|
||||
Output the list of keys in JSON format.
|
||||
|
||||
This is intended to be parsed by programs that use
|
||||
git-annex. Each line of output is a JSON object.
|
||||
|
||||
* `--json-error-messages`
|
||||
|
||||
Messages that would normally be output to standard error are included in
|
||||
the json instead.
|
||||
|
||||
* Also the [[git-annex-common-options]](1) can be used.

Seems that some users are looking for a way to list all keys known to
|

git-annex, while other users are looking for a way to list only keys
|
||||
present in the local repo. If it defaults to listing all known keys,
|

--in=here can be used to get the other behavior. OTOH, `git-annex find`
|

defaults to listing only files that are present, so it would be

a little inconsistent for findkeys to default to listing all keys.
|

I think I prefer the inconsistency over needing a different option than
|

--in=here though. --[[Joey]]
|

Like `git-annex find`, findkeys should default to listing only keys
|
||||
whose content is present. But when an option like --in=remote
|
||||
or --anything is used, it should, like find, not be limited to that.
