datalad create-sibling-ria [-h] -s NAME [-d DATASET] [--storage-name NAME] [--alias ALIAS] [--post-update-hook] [--shared {false|true|umask|group|all|world|everybody|0xxx}] [--group GROUP] [--storage-sibling MODE] [--existing MODE] [--new-store-ok] [--trust-level TRUST-LEVEL] [-r] [-R LEVELS] [--no-storage-sibling] [--push-url ria+<ssh|file>://<host>[/path]] [--version] ria+<ssh|file|http(s)>://<host>[/path]

Communication with a dataset in a RIA store is implemented via two siblings. A regular Git remote (repository sibling) and a git-annex special remote for data transfer (storage sibling) -- with the former having a publication dependency on the latter. By default, the name of the storage sibling is derived from the repository sibling's name by appending "-storage".

The store's base path is expected to not exist, be an empty directory, or a valid RIA store.

Notes -----

ria+<ssh|file|http(s)>://<host>[/path]

URL identifying the target RIA store and access protocol. If ``--push-url`` is given in addition, this is used for read access only. Otherwise it will be used for write access too and to create the repository sibling in the RIA store. Note, that HTTP(S) currently is valid for consumption only thus requiring to provide ``--push-url``. Constraints: value must be a string or value must be NONE

-h,  --help,  --help-np

show this help message. --help-np forcefully disables the use of a pager for displaying the help message

-s NAME, --name NAME

Name of the sibling. With RECURSIVE, the same name will be used to label all the subdatasets' siblings. Constraints: value must be a string or value must be NONE

-d DATASET, --dataset DATASET

specify the dataset to process. If no dataset is given, an attempt is made to identify the dataset based on the current working directory. Constraints: Value must be a Dataset or a valid identifier of a Dataset (e.g. a path) or value must be NONE

--storage-name NAME

Name of the storage sibling (git-annex special remote). Must not be identical to the sibling name. If not specified, defaults to the sibling name plus '-storage' suffix. If only a storage sibling is created, this setting is ignored, and the primary sibling name is used. Constraints: value must be a string or value must be NONE

--alias ALIAS

Alias for the dataset in the RIA store. Add the necessary symlink so that this dataset can be cloned from the RIA store using the given ALIAS instead of its ID. With `recursive=True`, only the top dataset will be aliased. Constraints: value must be a string or value must be NONE

--post-update-hook

Enable Git's default post-update-hook for the created sibling. This is useful when the sibling is made accessible via a "dumb server" that requires running 'git update-server-info' to let Git interact properly with it.

--shared {false|true|umask|group|all|world|everybody|0xxx}

If given, configures the permissions in the RIA store for multi-users access. Possible values for this option are identical to those of `git init --shared` and are described in its documentation. Constraints: value must be a string or value must be convertible to type bool or value must be NONE

--group GROUP

Filesystem group for the repository. Specifying the group is crucial when --shared=group. Constraints: value must be a string or value must be NONE

--storage-sibling MODE

By default, an ORA storage sibling and a Git repository sibling are created (on). Alternatively, creation of the storage sibling can be disabled (off), or a storage sibling created only and no Git sibling (only). In the latter mode, no Git installation is required on the target host. Constraints: value must be one of ('only',) or value must be convertible to type bool or value must be NONE [Default: True]

--existing MODE

Action to perform, if a (storage) sibling is already configured under the given name and/or a target already exists. In this case, a dataset can be skipped ('skip'), an existing target repository be forcefully re-initialized, and the sibling (re-)configured ('reconfigure'), or the command be instructed to fail ('error'). Constraints: value must be one of ('skip', 'error', 'reconfigure') [Default: 'error']

--new-store-ok

When set, a new store will be created, if necessary. Otherwise, a sibling will only be created if the url points to an existing RIA store.

--trust-level TRUST-LEVEL

specify a trust level for the storage sibling. If not specified, the default git-annex trust level is used. 'trust' should be used with care (see the git-annex-trust man page). Constraints: value must be one of ('trust', 'semitrust', 'untrust')

-r,  --recursive

if set, recurse into potential subdatasets.

-R LEVELS, --recursion-limit LEVELS

limit recursion into subdatasets to the given number of levels. Constraints: value must be convertible to type 'int' or value must be NONE

--no-storage-sibling

This option is deprecated. Use '--storage-sibling off' instead.

--push-url ria+<ssh|file>://<host>[/path]

URL identifying the target RIA store and access protocol for write access to the storage sibling. If given this will also be used for creation of the repository sibling in the RIA store. Constraints: value must be a string or value must be NONE

--version

show the module and its version which provides the command
