NAME
       git-annex-testremote - test transfers to/from a remote


SYNOPSIS
       git annex testremote remote


DESCRIPTION
       This  tests a remote by generating some random objects and sending them to the remote, then redownloading
       them, removing them from the remote, etc.

       It's safe to run in an existing repository (the repository contents are not  altered),  although  it  may
       perform expensive data transfers.

       It's  best  to  make a new remote for testing purposes. While the test tries to clean up after itself, if
       the remote being tested had a bug, the cleanup might fail, leaving test data in the remote.

       Testing will use the remote's configuration, automatically varying  the  chunk  sizes,  and  with  simple
       shared encryption disabled and enabled, and exporttree disabled and enabled.


OPTIONS
       --fast

              Perform a smaller set of tests.

       --size=NUnits
              Tune the base size of the generated objects. The default is 1MiB.
