# NAME
git-annex info - shows information about the specified item or the repository as a whole
# SYNOPSIS
git annex info `[directory|file|remote|uuid ...]`
# DESCRIPTION
Displays statistics and other information for the specified item,
which can be a directory, or a file, or a remote, or the uuid of a
repository.
When no item is specified, displays statistics and information
for the repository as a whole.
# OPTIONS
* `--fast`
Only show the data that can be gathered quickly.
* `--json`
Enable JSON output. This is intended to be parsed by programs that use
git-annex. Each line of output is a JSON object.
* file matching options
When a directory is specified, the [[git-annex-matching-options]](1)
can be used to select the files in the directory that are included
in the statistics.
# EXAMPLES
Suppose you want to run "git annex get .", but
would first like to see how much disk space that will use.
Then run:
git annex info --fast . --not --in here
