NAME

       git-annex-dead - hide a lost repository or key

SYNOPSIS

       git annex dead [repository ...] [--key somekey ...]

DESCRIPTION

       This command exists to deal with situations where data has been lost, and you know it has,
       and you want to stop being reminded of that fact.

       When a repository is specified, indicates that the repository has been irretrievably lost,
       so it will not be listed in eg, git annex info.  Repositories can be specified using their
       remote name, their description, or their UUID. (To undo, use git-annex semitrust.)

       When a key is specified, indicates that the content of that  key  has  been  irretrievably
       lost.  This  makes the key be skipped when operating on all keys with eg --all.  (To undo,
       add the key's content back to the repository, by using eg, git-annex reinject.)

OPTIONS

       --key=somekey

              Use to specify a key that is dead.

       --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.

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