NAME

       git-annex-config - configuration stored in git-annex branch

SYNOPSIS

       git annex config --set name value

       git annex config --get name

       git annex config --unset name

DESCRIPTION

       Set or get configuration settings stored in the git-annex branch.

       Unlike  git  config  settings, these settings can be seen in all clones of the repository, once they have
       gotten their git-annex branches in sync.

SUPPORTED SETTINGS

       git-annex does not check the git-annex branch for all settings.  Only a few make sense to be able to  set
       such that all clones of a repository see the setting, and so git-annex only looks for these:

       These settings can be overridden on a per-repository basis using git config.

       annex.largefiles
              Used to configure which files are large enough to be added to the annex.  It is an expression that
              matches    the    large    files,    eg    "include=*.mp3   or   largerthan(500kb)".    See   git-
              annex-matching-expression(1) for details on the syntax.

              This sets a default, which can be overridden  by  annex.largefiles  attributes  in  .gitattributes
              files, or by git config.

       annex.dotfiles
              Normally, dotfiles are assumed to be files like .gitignore, whose content should always be part of
              the  git  repository, so they will not be added to the annex. Setting annex.dotfiles to true makes
              dotfiles be added to the annex the same as any other file.

              This sets a default, which can be overridden by annex.dotfiles in git config.

       annex.addunlocked
              Commands like git-annex add default to adding files to the repository in  locked  form.  This  can
              make  them  add  the  files  in  unlocked form, the same as if git-annex-unlock(1) were run on the
              files.

              This can be set to "true" to add everything unlocked, or it can be a more  complicated  expression
              that matches files by name, size, or content. See git-annex-matching-expression(1) for details.

              This sets a default, which can be overridden by annex.addunlocked in git config.

       annex.autocommit
              Set  to  false to prevent the git-annex assistant and git-annex sync from automatically committing
              changes to files in the repository.

       annex.resolvemerge
              Set to false to prevent merge conflicts in the checked out branch being automatically resolved  by
              the git-annex assitant, git-annex sync, git-annex merge, and the git-annex post-receive hook.

       annex.synccontent
              Set to true to make git-annex sync default to syncing annexed content.

       annex.synconlyannex
              Set  to  true  to  make  git-annex  sync  default to only sincing the git-annex branch and annexed
              content.

       annex.securehashesonly
              Set to true to indicate that the repository should only use cryptographically secure hashes (SHA2,
              SHA3) and not insecure hashes (MD5, SHA1) for content.

              When this is set, the contents of files  using  cryptographically  insecure  hashes  will  not  be
              allowed to be added to the repository.

              Also,  git-annex  fsck  will  complain about any files present in the repository that use insecure
              hashes.

              Note that this is only read from the git-annex branch by git annex init,  and  is  copied  to  the
              corresponding git config setting.  So, changes to the value in the git-annex branch won't affect a
              repository once it has been initialized.

EXAMPLE

       Suppose  you  want  to  prevent  git  annex sync from committing changes to files, so a manual git commit
       workflow is used in all clones of the repository. Then run:

        git annex config --set annex.autocommit false

       If you want to override that in a partiticular clone, just use git config in the clone:

        git config annex.autocommit true

       And to get back to the default behavior:

        git annex config --unset annex.autocommit
