# NAME
git-annex dead - hide a lost repository or key
# SYNOPSIS
git annex dead `[repository ...] [--key somekey]`
# DESCRIPTION
This command exists to deal with situations where data has been lost,
and you know it has, and you want to stop being reminded of that fact.
When a repository is specified, indicates that the repository has
been irretrievably lost, so it will not be listed in eg, `git annex info`.
Repositories can be specified using their remote name, their
description, or their UUID. (To undo, use `git-annex semitrust`.)
When a key is specified, indicates that the content of that key has been
irretrievably lost. This prevents commands like `git annex fsck --all`
from complaining about it.
(To undo, add the key's content back to the repository,
by using eg, `git-annex reinject`.)
# OPTIONS
* `--key=somekey`
Use to specify a key that is dead.
* Also the [[git-annex-common-options]](1) can be used.
