NAME

       git-annex-direct - switch repository to direct mode

SYNOPSIS

       git annex direct

DESCRIPTION

       Switches  a  repository to use direct mode, where rather than symlinks to files, the files
       are directly present in the repository.

       As part of the switch to direct mode, any changed files will be committed.

       Note that git commands that operate on the work tree will refuse to  run  in  direct  mode
       repositories. Use git annex proxy to safely run such commands.

       Note   that  the  direct  mode/indirect  mode  distinction  is  removed  in  v6  git-annex
       repositories. In such a repository, you can  use  git-annex-unlock(1)  to  make  a  file's
       content be directly present.  You can also use git-annex-adjust(1) to enter a branch where
       all annexed files are unlocked, which is similar to the old direct mode.
