NAME
       git-annex-assistant - daemon to add files and automatically sync changes


SYNOPSIS
       git annex assistant


DESCRIPTION
       Watches  for  changes  to  files in the current directory and its subdirectories, and automatically syncs
       them to other remotes. This includes adding new files. New files published to remotes by others are  also
       automatically downloaded.

       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
       --autostart

              Automatically  starts  the  assistant running in each repository listed in the file ~/.config/git-
              annex/autostart

              This is typically started at boot, or when you log in.

       --startdelay=N
              Wait N seconds before running the startup scan. This process can be expensive and you may not want
              to run it immediately upon login.

              When --autostart is used, defaults to --startdelay=5.

       --foreground
              Avoid forking to the background.

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

       --autostop
              The  complement  to  --autostart;  stops  all  running  daemons  in the repositories listed in the
              autostart file.

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