NAME

       git-annex-info - information about an item or the repository

SYNOPSIS

       git annex info [directory|file|treeish|remote|description|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  description  or  uuid  of  a
       repository.

       When  no  item  is specified, displays statistics and information for the local repository
       and all known annexed files.

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
