NAME

       git-annex-watch - daemon to watch for changes

SYNOPSIS

       git annex watch

DESCRIPTION

       Watches  for  changes  to files in the current directory and its subdirectories, and takes
       care of automatically adding new files, as well as dealing with deleted, copied, and moved
       files. With this running as a daemon in the background, you no longer need to manually run
       git commands when manipulating your files.

       By default, all new files in the directory will be added to  the  repository.   (Including
       dotfiles.) To block some files from being added, use .gitignore files.

       By  default, all files that are added are added to the annex, the same as when you run git
       annex add. If you configure annex.largefiles, files that it does not match will instead be
       added with git add.

OPTIONS

       --foreground

              Avoid forking to the background.

       --stop Stop a running daemon in the current repository.

       Also the git-annex-common-options(1) can be used.
