NAME

git-annex info - information about an item or the repository

SYNOPSIS

git annex info [directory|file|treeish|remote|description|uuid ...]

DESCRIPTION

Displays statistics and other information for the specified item, which can be a directory, or a file, or a treeish, or a remote, or the description or uuid of a repository.

When no item is specified, displays statistics and information for the local repository and all annexed content.

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.

• --json-error-messages

  Messages that would normally be output to standard error are included in the json instead.

• --bytes

  Show file sizes in bytes, disabling the default nicer units.

• --batch

  Enable batch mode, in which a line containing an item is read from stdin, the information about it is output to stdout, and repeat.

• -z

  Makes the --batch input be delimited by nulls instead of the usual newlines.

• --autoenable

  Display a list of special remotes that have been configured to autoenable.

• matching options

  The git-annex-matching-options(1) can be used to select what to include in the statistics.

• Also the git-annex-common-options(1) can be used.

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
