NAME

       git-annex-dead - hide a lost repository or key

SYNOPSIS

       git annex dead [repository ...] [--key key]

DESCRIPTION

       This  command  exists to deal with situations where data has been lost, and you know it has, and you want
       to stop being reminded of that fact.

       When a repository is specified, indicates that the repository has been irretrievably lost, so it will not
       be  listed  in  eg,  git  annex  info.   Repositories  can  be  specified  using their remote name, their
       description, or their UUID. (To undo, use git-annex semitrust.)

       When a key is specified, indicates that the content  of  that  key  has  been  irretrievably  lost.  This
       prevents  commands like git annex fsck --all from complaining about it; --all will not operate on the key
       anymore.  (To undo, add the key's content back to the repository, by using eg, git-annex reinject.)
