NAME

       git-annex-dropkey - drops annexed content for specified keys

SYNOPSIS

       git annex dropkey [key ...]

DESCRIPTION

       This plumbing-level command drops the annexed data for the specified keys from this repository.

       This  can  be  used  to  drop  content  for  arbitrary  keys, which do not need to have a file in the git
       repository pointing at them.

       Warning: This command does not check that enough other copies of the content exist; using it  can  easily
       result in data loss.

OPTIONS

       --batch

              Enables batch mode, in which lines containing keys to drop are read from stdin.

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