NAME

       git-annex-info - information about an item or the repository

SYNOPSIS

       git annex info [directory|file|treeish|remote|description|uuid ...]

DESCRIPTION

       Displays statistics and other information for the specified item.

       When no item is specified, displays overall information. This includes a list of all known
       repositories, how much annexed data is present in the local repository, the total size  of
       all  annexed  data  in  the  working  tree,  the  combined  size  of  annexed  data in all
       repositories, and the annex sizes of each repository.

       When a directory is specified, displays  information  about  the  annexed  files  in  that
       directory  (and  subdirectories).   This  includes how much annexed data is present in the
       local repository, the total size of all annexed data in the directory, how many files have
       the  specified  numcopies or more (+1, +2 etc) or less (-1, -2 etc), and information about
       how much of the annexed data is stored in known repositories.

       When a treeish  is  specified,  displays  similar  information  as  when  a  directory  is
       specified, but about the annexed files in that treeish.

       When  a remote, or description of a repository, or uuid is specified, displays information
       about the specified repository, including the total amount of annexed data stored  in  it,
       and a variety of configuration information.

OPTIONS

       --fast

              Only show the information that can be gathered quickly.

       --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.

       --bytes
              Show file sizes in bytes, disabling the default nicer units.

       --batch
              Enable  batch  mode,  in  which  a  line containing an item is read from stdin, the
              information about it is output to stdout, and repeat.

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

       --autoenable
              Display a list of special remotes that have been configured to autoenable.

       --dead-repositories
              Display a list of repositories that have been marked as  dead.   Such  repositories
              are not displayed in other info displays.

       matching options
              The  git-annex-matching-options(1)  can  be  used  to select what to include in the
              statistics.

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

EXAMPLES

       Suppose you want to run "git annex get .", but would first like to see how much disk space
       that will use.  Then run:

        git annex info --fast . --not --in here
