Better to make it not be surprising and slow, than surprising and fast. --raw can be used when it needs to be really fast. Implemented adding a youtube-dl supported url to an existing file. This commit was sponsored by andrea rota.

# NAME
|
|
|
|
git-annex addurl - add urls to annex
|
|
|
|
# SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
git annex addurl `[url ...]`
|
|
|
|
# DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
Downloads each url to its own file, which is added to the annex.
|
|
|
|
When `youtube-dl` is installed, it's used to check for a video embedded in
|
|
a web page at the url, and that is added to the annex instead.
|
|
|
|
Urls to torrent files (including magnet links) will cause the content of
|
|
the torrent to be downloaded, using `aria2c`.
|
|
|
|
Normally the filename is based on the full url, so will look like
|
|
"www.example.com_dir_subdir_bigfile". In some cases, addurl is able to
|
|
come up with a better filename based on other information. Options can also
|
|
be used to get better filenames.
|
|
|
|
# OPTIONS
|
|
|
|
* `--fast`
|
|
|
|
Avoid immediately downloading the url. The url is still checked
|
|
(via HEAD) to verify that it exists, and to get its size if possible.
|
|
|
|
* `--relaxed`
|
|
|
|
Don't immediately download the url, and avoid storing the size of the
|
|
url's content. This makes git-annex accept whatever content is there
|
|
at a future point.
|
|
|
|
This is the fastest option, but it still has to access the network
|
|
to check if the url contains embedded media. When adding large numbers
|
|
of urls, using `--relaxed --raw` is much faster.
|
|
|
|
* `--raw`
|
|
|
|
Prevent special handling of urls by youtube-dl, bittorrent, and other
|
|
special remotes. This will for example, make addurl
|
|
download the .torrent file and not the contents it points to.
|
|
|
|
* `--file=name`
|
|
|
|
Use with a filename that does not yet exist to add a new file
|
|
with the specified name and the content downloaded from the url.
|
|
|
|
If the file already exists, addurl will record that it can be downloaded
|
|
from the specified url(s).
|
|
|
|
* `--pathdepth=N`
|
|
|
|
Rather than basing the filename on the whole url, this causes a path to
|
|
be constructed, starting at the specified depth within the path of the
|
|
url.
|
|
|
|
For example, adding the url http://www.example.com/dir/subdir/bigfile
|
|
with `--pathdepth=1` will use "dir/subdir/bigfile",
|
|
while `--pathdepth=3` will use "bigfile".
|
|
|
|
It can also be negative; `--pathdepth=-2` will use the last
|
|
two parts of the url.
|
|
|
|
* `--prefix=foo` `--suffix=bar`
|
|
|
|
Use to adjust the filenames that are created by addurl. For example,
|
|
`--suffix=.mp3` can be used to add an extension to the file.
|
|
|
|
* `--jobs=N` `-JN`
|
|
|
|
Enables parallel downloads when multiple urls are being added.
|
|
For example: `-J4`
|
|
|
|
* `--batch`
|
|
|
|
Enables batch mode, in which lines containing urls to add are read from
|
|
stdin.
|
|
|
|
* `--with-files`
|
|
|
|
When batch mode is enabled, makes it parse lines of the form: "$url $file"
|
|
|
|
That adds the specified url to the specified file, downloading its
|
|
content if the file does not yet exist; the same as
|
|
`git annex addurl $url --file $file`
|
|
|
|
* `--json`
|
|
|
|
Enable JSON output. This is intended to be parsed by programs that use
|
|
git-annex. Each line of output is a JSON object.
|
|
|
|
* `--json-progress`
|
|
|
|
Include progress objects in JSON output.
|
|
|
|
# CAVEATS
|
|
|
|
If annex.largefiles is configured, and does not match a file, `git annex
|
|
addurl` will add the non-large file directly to the git repository,
|
|
instead of to the annex. However, this is not done when --fast or --relaxed
|
|
is used.
