Added the ability to run one job per CPU (core), by setting annex.jobs=cpus, or using option --jobs=cpus or -Jcpus. Built with future expansion in mind, including not defaulting matching on Concurrency so more constructors can later be added, and using "cpu" instead of "0".

# NAME
|
|
|
|
git-annex get - make content of annexed files available
|
|
|
|
# SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
git annex get `[path ...]`
|
|
|
|
# DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
Makes the content of annexed files available in this repository. This
|
|
will involve copying them from a remote repository, or downloading them,
|
|
or transferring them from some kind of key-value store.
|
|
|
|
# OPTIONS
|
|
|
|
* `--auto`
|
|
|
|
Rather than getting all files, get only files that don't yet have
|
|
the desired number of copies, or that are preferred content of the
|
|
repository. See [[git-annex-preferred-content]](1)
|
|
|
|
* `--from=remote`
|
|
|
|
Normally git-annex will choose which remotes to get the content
|
|
from, preferring remotes with lower costs. Use this option to specify
|
|
which remote to use.
|
|
|
|
Any files that are not available on the remote will be silently skipped.
|
|
|
|
* `--jobs=N` `-JN`
|
|
|
|
Enables parallel download with up to the specified number of jobs
|
|
running at once. For example: `-J10`
|
|
|
|
Setting this to "cpus" will run one job per CPU core.
|
|
|
|
When files can be downloaded from multiple remotes, enabling parallel
|
|
downloads will split the load between the remotes. For example, if
|
|
the files are available on remotes A and B, then one file will be
|
|
downloaded from A, and another file will be downloaded from B in
|
|
parallel. (Remotes with lower costs are still preferred over higher cost
|
|
remotes.)
|
|
|
|
* file matching options
|
|
|
|
The [[git-annex-matching-options]](1)
|
|
can be used to specify files to get.
|
|
|
|
* `--incomplete`
|
|
|
|
Resume any incomplete downloads of files that were started and
|
|
interrupted at some point previously. Useful to pick up where you left
|
|
off ... when you don't quite remember where that was.
|
|
|
|
These incomplete files are the same ones that are
|
|
listed as unused temp files by [[git-annex-unused]](1).
|
|
|
|
Note that the git-annex key will be displayed when downloading,
|
|
as git-annex does not know the associated file, and the associated file
|
|
may not even be in the current git working directory.
|
|
|
|
* `--all` `-A`
|
|
|
|
Rather than specifying a filename or path to get, this option can be
|
|
used to get all available versions of all files.
|
|
|
|
This is the default behavior when running git-annex in a bare repository.
|
|
|
|
* `--branch=ref`
|
|
|
|
Operate on files in the specified branch or treeish.
|
|
|
|
* `--unused`
|
|
|
|
Operate on files found by last run of git-annex unused.
|
|
|
|
* `--failed`
|
|
|
|
Operate on files that have recently failed to be transferred.
|
|
|
|
Not to be confused with `--incomplete` which resumes only downloads
|
|
that managed to transfer part of the content of a file.
|
|
|
|
* `--key=keyname`
|
|
|
|
Use this option to get a specified key.
|
|
|
|
* `--batch`
|
|
|
|
Enables batch mode, in which lines containing names of files to get
|
|
are read from stdin.
|
|
|
|
As each specified file is processed, the usual progress output is
|
|
displayed. If the specified file's content is already present,
|
|
or it does not match specified matching options, or
|
|
it is not an annexed file, a blank line is output in response instead.
|
|
|
|
Since the usual output while getting a file is verbose and not
|
|
machine-parseable, you may want to use --json in combination with
|
|
--batch.
|
|
|
|
* `-z`
|
|
|
|
Makes the `--batch` input be delimited by nulls instead of the usual
|
|
newlines.
|
|
|
|
* `--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.
|
|
|
|
* `--json-error-messages`
|
|
|
|
Messages that would normally be output to standard error are included in
|
|
the json instead.
