git-annex-info(1) General Commands Manual git-annex-info(1) NAME git-annex-info - information about an item or the repository SYNOPSIS git annex info [directory|file|treeish|remote|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 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. --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. 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 SEE ALSO git-annex(1) AUTHOR Joey Hess <id@joeyh.name> git-annex-info(1)
