bionic (1) git-annex-direct.1.gz

NAME

       git-annex-direct - switch repository to direct mode

SYNOPSIS

       git annex direct

DESCRIPTION

       Switches  a  repository  to  use direct mode, where rather than symlinks to files, the files are directly
       present in the repository.

       As part of the switch to direct mode, any changed files will be committed.

       Note that git commands that operate on the work tree will refuse to run in direct mode repositories.  Use
       git annex proxy to safely run such commands.

       Note  that  the  direct mode/indirect mode distinction is removed in v6 git-annex repositories. In such a
       repository, you can use git-annex-unlock(1) to make a file's content be directly present.  You  can  also
       use  git-annex-adjust(1)  to enter a branch where all annexed files are unlocked, which is similar to the
       old direct mode.
