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.

       This configuration is stored in the git-annex branch, so it will be seen by all clones  of
       the repository.

       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.
