# NAME
|
|
|
|
git-annex-matching-options - specifying files to act on
|
|
|
|
# DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
Many git-annex commands support using these options to specify which
|
|
files they act on.
|
|
|
|
Arbitrarily complicated expressions can be built using these options.
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
--include='*.mp3' --and -( --in=usbdrive --or --in=archive -)
|
|
|
|
The above example makes git-annex work on only mp3 files that are present
|
|
in either of two repositories.
|
|
|
|
# OPTIONS
|
|
|
|
* `--exclude=glob`
|
|
|
|
Skips files matching the glob pattern. The glob is matched relative to
|
|
the current directory. For example:
|
|
|
|
--exclude='*.mp3' --exclude='subdir/*'
|
|
|
|
Note that this will not match anything when using --all or --unused.
|
|
|
|
* `--include=glob`
|
|
|
|
Skips files not matching the glob pattern. (Same as `--not --exclude`.)
|
|
For example, to include only mp3 and ogg files:
|
|
|
|
--include='*.mp3' --or --include='*.ogg'
|
|
|
|
Note that this will not skip anything when using --all or --unused.
|
|
|
|
* `--in=repository`
|
|
|
|
Matches only files that git-annex believes have their contents present
|
|
in a repository. Note that it does not check the repository to verify
|
|
that it still has the content.
|
|
|
|
The repository should be specified using the name of a configured remote,
|
|
or the UUID or description of a repository. For the current repository,
|
|
use `--in=here`
|
|
|
|
* `--in=repository@{date}`
|
|
|
|
Matches files currently in the work tree whose content was present in
|
|
the repository on the given date.
|
|
|
|
The date is specified in the same syntax documented in
|
|
gitrevisions(7). Note that this uses the reflog, so dates far in the
|
|
past cannot be queried.
|
|
|
|
For example, you might need to run `git annex drop .` to temporarily
|
|
free up disk space. The next day, you can get back the files you dropped
|
|
using `git annex get . --in=here@{yesterday}`
|
|
|
|
* `--copies=number`
|
|
|
|
Matches only files that git-annex believes to have the specified number
|
|
of copies, or more. Note that it does not check remotes to verify that
|
|
the copies still exist.
|
|
|
|
* `--copies=trustlevel:number`
|
|
|
|
Matches only files that git-annex believes have the specified number of
|
|
copies, on remotes with the specified trust level. For example,
|
|
`--copies=trusted:2`
|
|
|
|
To match any trust level at or higher than a given level,
|
|
use 'trustlevel+'. For example, `--copies=semitrusted+:2`
|
|
|
|
* `--copies=groupname:number`
|
|
|
|
Matches only files that git-annex believes have the specified number of
|
|
copies, on remotes in the specified group. For example,
|
|
`--copies=archive:2`
|
|
|
|
* `--lackingcopies=number`
|
|
|
|
Matches only files that git-annex believes need the specified number or
|
|
more additional copies to be made in order to satisfy their numcopies
|
|
settings.
|
|
|
|
* `--approxlackingcopies=number`
|
|
|
|
Like lackingcopies, but does not look at .gitattributes annex.numcopies
|
|
settings. This makes it significantly faster.
|
|
|
|
* `--inbackend=name`
|
|
|
|
Matches only files whose content is stored using the specified key-value
|
|
backend.
|
|
|
|
* `--inallgroup=groupname`
|
|
|
|
Matches only files that git-annex believes are present in all repositories
|
|
in the specified group.
|
|
|
|
* `--smallerthan=size`
|
|
* `--largerthan=size`
|
|
|
|
Matches only files whose content is smaller than, or larger than the
|
|
specified size.
|
|
|
|
The size can be specified with any commonly used units, for example,
|
|
"0.5 gb" or "100 KiloBytes"
|
|
|
|
* `--metadata field=glob`
|
|
|
|
Matches only files that have a metadata field attached with a value that
|
|
matches the glob. The values of metadata fields are matched case
|
|
insensitively.
|
|
|
|
* `--metadata field<number` / `--metadata field>number`
|
|
* `--metadata field<=number` / `--metadata field>=number`
|
|
|
|
Matches only files that have a metadata field attached with a value that
|
|
is a number and is less than or greater than the specified number.
|
|
|
|
(Note that you will need to quote the second parameter to avoid
|
|
the shell doing redirection.)
|
|
|
|
* `--want-get`
|
|
|
|
Matches files that the preferred content settings for the repository
|
|
make it want to get. Note that this will match even files that are
|
|
already present, unless limited with e.g., `--not --in .`
|
|
|
|
Note that this will not match anything when using --all or --unused.
|
|
|
|
* `--want-drop`
|
|
|
|
Matches files that the preferred content settings for the repository
|
|
make it want to drop. Note that this will match even files that have
|
|
already been dropped, unless limited with e.g., `--in .`
|
|
|
|
Note that this will not match anything when using --all or --unused.
|
|
|
|
* `--not`
|
|
|
|
Inverts the next matching option. For example, to only act on
|
|
files with less than 3 copies, use `--not --copies=3`
|
|
|
|
* `--and`
|
|
|
|
Requires that both the previous and the next matching option matches.
|
|
The default.
|
|
|
|
* `--or`
|
|
|
|
Requires that either the previous, or the next matching option matches.
|
|
|
|
* `-(`
|
|
|
|
Opens a group of matching options.
|
|
|
|
* `-)`
|
|
|
|
Closes a group of matching options.
