NAME

       git-annex-move - move content of files to/from another repository

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

       Moves the content of files from or to another remote.

       With  no  parameters,  operates  on  all annexed files in the current directory.  Paths of
       files or directories to operate on can be specified.

OPTIONS

       --from=remote

              Move the content of files from the specified remote to the local repository.

       --to=remote
              Move the content of files from the local repository to the specified remote.

       --to=here
              Move the content of files from all reachable remotes to the local repository.

       --from=remote1 --to=remote2
              Move the content of files that are in remote1 to remote2. Does not change  what  is
              stored in the local repository.

              This  is  implemented  by  first  downloading the content from remote1 to the local
              repository (if not already present), then sending it to remote2, and then  deleting
              the content from the local repository (if it was not present to start with).

       --force
              Override  numcopies and required content checking, and always remove files from the
              source repository once the destination repository has a copy.

              Note that, even without this option, you can move the content of a  file  from  one
              repository to another when numcopies is not satisfied, as long as the move does not
              result in there being fewer copies.

       --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.

              Note  that  when  using  --from  with  --to, twice this many jobs will run at once,
              evenly split between the two remotes.

       --all -A
              Rather than specifying a filename or path to move, this option can be used to  move
              all available versions of all 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.

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

       --failed
              Operate on files that have recently failed to be transferred.

       --key=keyname
              Use this option to move a specified key.

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

       --batch
              Enables  batch mode, in which lines containing names of files to move are read from
              stdin.

              As each specified file is processed, the usual progress output is displayed.  If  a
              file's  content  does not need to be moved, or it does not match specified matching
              options, or it is not an annexed file, a blank line is output in response instead.

              Since the usual output while moving a file is verbose  and  not  machine-parseable,
              you may want to use --json in combination with --batch.

       --batch-keys
              This is like --batch but the lines read from stdin are parsed as keys.

       -z     Makes batch input be delimited by nulls instead of the usual newlines.

       --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-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.
