NAME

       git-annex-move - move content of files to/from another repository

SYNOPSIS

       git annex move [path ...] [--from=remote|--to=remote|--to=here]

DESCRIPTION

       Moves the content of files from or to another remote.

OPTIONS

       --from=remote

              Move the content of files from the specified remote to the local repository.

       --to=remote
              Move the content of files from the local repository to the specified remote.

       --to=here
              Move the content of files from all reachable remotes to the local repository.

       --force
              Override  numcopies  and  required  content  checking,  and  always  remove  files from the source
              repository once the destination repository has a copy.

              Note that, even without this option, you can move the content of a file  from  one  repository  to
              another  when numcopies is not satisfied, as long as the move does not result in there being fewer
              copies.

       --jobs=N -JN
              Enables parallel transfers with up to the specified number of jobs running at once.  For  example:
              -J10

              Setting this to "cpus" will run one job per CPU core.

       --all -A
              Rather  than  specifying a filename or path to move, this option can be used to move all available
              versions of all files.

              This is the default behavior when running git-annex in a bare repository.

       --branch=ref
              Operate on files in the specified branch or treeish.

       --unused
              Operate on files found by last run of git-annex unused.

       --failed
              Operate on files that have recently failed to be transferred.

       --key=keyname
              Use this option to move a specified key.

       --fast When moving content to a remote, avoid a round trip to check if the remote  already  has  content.
              This can be faster, but might skip moving content to the remote in some cases.

       file matching options
              The git-annex-matching-options(1) can be used to specify files to move.

       --batch
              Enables batch mode, in which lines containing names of files to move are read from stdin.

              As  each  specified file is processed, the usual progress output is displayed. If a file's content
              does not need to be moved, or it does not match specified  matching  options,  or  it  is  not  an
              annexed file, a blank line is output in response instead.

              Since  the  usual output while moving a file is verbose and not machine-parseable, you may want to
              use --json in combination with --batch.

       -z     Makes the --batch input be delimited by nulls instead of the usual newlines.

       --json Enable JSON output. This is intended to be parsed by programs that use  git-annex.  Each  line  of
              output is a JSON object.

       --json-progress
              Include progress objects in JSON output.

       --json-error-messages
              Messages that would normally be output to standard error are included in the json instead.
