NAME

       git-annex-satisfy - transfer and drop content as configured

SYNOPSIS

       git annex satisfy [remote ...]

DESCRIPTION

       This  transfers and drops content of annexed files to work toward satisfying the preferred
       content settings of the local repository and remotes.

       It does the same thing as git-annex sync --content without the pulling and pushing of  git
       repositories, and without changing the trees that are imported to or exported from special
       remotes.

       Note that it (like git-annex-sync or git-annex-assist) does not work specifically  towards
       satisfying  the  git-annex-numcopies  setting, unless the preferred content setting of the
       local repository is written to do so by using eg approxlackingcopies=1.

OPTIONS

       [remote]

              By default this command operates on all  remotes,  except  for  remotes  that  have
              remote.<name>.annex-sync set to false.

              By  specifying  the names of remotes (or remote groups), you can control which ones
              to operate on.

       --content-of=path -C path
              Operate on only files in the specified path. The default is to operate on all files
              in the working tree.

              This option can be repeated multiple times with different paths.

              Note that this option does not prevent exporting other files to an "exporttree=yes"
              remote.

       --jobs=N -JN
              Enables parallel processing 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
              Usually  this command operates on annexed files in the current branch.  This option
              makes it operate on all available versions of all  annexed  files  (when  preferred
              content settings allow).

              Note  that preferred content settings that use include= or exclude= will only match
              the version of files currently in the work tree, but not past versions of files.

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