git-annex-numcopies(1) General Commands Manual git-annex-numcopies(1) NAME git-annex-numcopies - configure desired number of copies SYNOPSIS git annex numcopies N DESCRIPTION Tells git-annex how many copies it should preserve of files, over all repositories. The default is 1. Run without a number to get the current value. When git-annex is asked to drop a file, it first verifies that the required number of copies can be satisfied among all the other repositories that have a copy of the file. This can be overridden on a per-file basis by the annex.numcopies setting in .gitattributes files. SEE ALSO git-annex(1) AUTHOR Joey Hess <id@joeyh.name> git-annex-numcopies(1)
