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.

# NAME
|
|
|
|
git-annex reinject - inject content of file back into annex
|
|
|
|
# SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
git annex reinject `[src dest]`
|
|
|
|
git annex reinject --known `[src]`
|
|
|
|
# DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
Moves the content of the src file or files into the annex.
|
|
Only known file contents will be reinjected. Any unknown src files will
|
|
be left unchanged.
|
|
|
|
This can be useful if you have obtained the content of a file from
|
|
elsewhere and want to put it in the local annex. For example, if a file's
|
|
content has been lost and you have a backup, you can restore the backup and
|
|
reinject it into your local repository.
|
|
|
|
There are two ways to use this command. Specifying a src file and the name
|
|
of a dest file (located inside the repository's working tree)
|
|
injects the src file as the content of the dest file.
|
|
|
|
git annex reinject /tmp/foo.iso foo.iso
|
|
|
|
Or the `--known` option can be used to reinject all known src files, without
|
|
needing to specify the dest file.
|
|
|
|
git annex reinject --known /tmp/*.iso
|
|
|
|
# OPTIONS
|
|
|
|
* `--known`
|
|
|
|
With this option, each specified src file is hashed using the default
|
|
key-value backend (or the one specified with `--backend`), and if git-annex
|
|
has a record of the resulting key having been in the annex before, the
|
|
content is reinjected.
|
|
|
|
Note that, when using a key-value backend that includes the filename
|
|
extension in the key, this will only work if the src files have the same
|
|
extensions as the files with the same content that was originally added
|
|
to git-annex.
|
|
|
|
Note that this will reinject old versions of files that have been
|
|
modified or deleted from the current git branch.
|
|
Use [[git-annex-unused]](1) to detect when such old and potentially
|
|
unused files have been reinjected.
|
|
|
|
* `--backend`
|
|
|
|
Specify the key-value backend to use when checking if a file is known
|
|
with the `--known` option.
|
|
|
|
* Also the [[git-annex-common-options]](1) can be used.
