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
