git-annex-info - Man Page
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
