git-annex-mirror - Man Page

git annex mirror [path ...] [--to=remote|--from=remote]

This causes a destination repository to mirror a source repository.

Each specified file in the source repository is mirrored to the destination repository. If a file's content is present in the source repository, it is copied to the destination repository. If a file's content is not present in the source repository, it will be dropped from the destination repository when the numcopies setting allows.

Note that mirror does not sync the git repository, but only the file contents. Use git-annex-sync(1) for that.

--to=remote

Use the local repository as the source repository, and mirror its contents to the remote.

--from=remote

Use the remote as the source repository, and mirror its contents to the local repository.

--jobs=N -JN

Enables parallel transfers with up to the specified number of jobs running at once. For example: -J10

Setting this to "cpus" will run one job per CPU core.

--all -A

Mirror all objects stored in the git annex, not only objects used by currently existing files.

However, this bypasses checking the .gitattributes annex.numcopies setting when dropping files.

This is the default behavior when running git-annex in a bare repository.

--branch=ref

Operate on files in the specified branch or treeish.

Like --all, this bypasses checking the .gitattributes annex.numcopies setting when dropping files.

--unused

Operate on files found by last run of git-annex unused.

--failed

Operate on files that have recently failed to be transferred.

matching options

The git-annex-matching-options(1) can be used to control what to mirror.

--json

Enable JSON output. This is intended to be parsed by programs that use git-annex. Each line of output is a JSON object.

Note that unlike all other commands that support --json, this command outputs different types of json objects in different circumstances.

--json-progress

Include progress objects in JSON output.

--json-error-messages

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

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