NAME

       git-annex-recompute - recompute computed files

SYNOPSIS

       git-annex recompute [path ...]

DESCRIPTION

       This updates computed files that were added with git-annex-addcomputed(1).

       By  default,  this  only  recomputes files whose input files have changed.  The new contents of the input
       files are used to re-run the computation.

       When the output of the computation is different, the computed file is updated with the new  content.  The
       updated file is staged in git.

OPTIONS

       --original

              Re-run the computation with the original input files content.

       --remote=name
              Only recompute files that were computed by this compute remote.

              When  this option is not used, all computed files are recomputed using whatever compute remote was
              originally used to add them. (In cases where a file can be computed by multiple remotes,  the  one
              with the lowest configured cost is used.)

       --unreproducible, -u
              Indicate that the computation is not expected to be fully reproducible.  It can vary, in ways that
              produce files that equivilant enough to be interchangeable, but are not necessarily identical.

              This is the default unless the compute remote indicates that it produces reproducible output.

       --reproducible, -r
              Indicate that the computation is expected to be fully reproducible.

              This is the default when the compute remote indicates that it produces reproducible output.

       --json Enable  JSON  output.  This  is intended to be parsed by programs that use git-annex. Each line of
              output is a JSON object.

       matching options
              The git-annex-matching-options(1) can be used to control what files to recompute.

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