NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

       Copies the content of files from or to another remote.

OPTIONS

       --from=remote

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

              Any files that are not available on the remote will be silently skipped.

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

       --jobs=N -JN
              Enables  parallel  transfers with up to the specified number of jobs running at once. For example:
              -J10

       --auto Rather than copying all files, only copy files that don't yet have the desired number  of  copies,
              or that are preferred content of the destination repository. See git-annex-preferred-content(1)

       --fast When  copying  content to a remote, avoid a round trip to check if the remote already has content.
              This can be faster, but might skip copying content to the remote in some cases.

       --force
              When copying content from a remote, ignore location tracking information and always check  if  the
              remote has content. Can be useful if the location tracking information is out of date.

       --all  Rather  than  specifying a filename or path to copy, this option can be used to copy 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.

       file matching options
              The git-annex-matching-options(1) can be used to specify files to copy.

       --batch
              Enables batch mode, in which lines containing names of files to copy 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  copied  or  it is not an annexed file, a blank line is output in response
              instead.

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

       --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.
