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.

       With  no  parameters,  operates  on  all  annexed  files  in  the  current  directory.  Paths of files or
       directories to operate on can be specified.

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.
